Ready for a java jolt?

If you like premium coffee, then be on the look out for the Prairie Ridge Girls Track Team members.

These athletes are selling Fair Trade coffee, specialty tea and hot cocoa mix from Conscious Cup Coffeehouse in Crystal Lake.

The proceeds will help the team buy new equipment.

So if you are looking for some java to warm you up in what we hope is the tail end of winter, contact any athlete on the girls track team from now to Feb. 28 to place your order. You also can contact head track coach Mr. Lewis at mrlewis85@gmail.com.

Don't delay!

A fun night at the Opera House

Posted on February 9, 2010 - 18:28:58

With all the buzz about the Woodstock "Tribute" Series at the Woodstock Opera House, I wanted to get a first hand look at this event.

I took my brother (as an early birthday present) to see OHIO, a Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young cover band.

It was a great time. The Opera House was packed with fans who were looking to hear some great music.

And they also got a chance to hear from Artie Kornfeld, co-creator of the Woodstock 1969 music festival.

Fans even got a chance to meet the band and Artie afterward.

My brother and I had a blast, and I hope that this could be the first of many years of these fun concerts.

You also can check out the future acts such as Creedence Again, Alan Kaye, and Boney Fingers.
