The PrivateBank has sponsored a free concert in the garden today…. at 4:30 Casey Nielsen will play selected classical and jazz pieces for us! The concert is free, and we believe you would be hard pressed to enjoy music in a venue more amazing than this!

Come downtown today for the last day of the Geneva Art Fair….. Third Street is blocked off from traffic and lined on each side by fabulous artwork of every kind, size, shape and medium….. from contemporary, to traditional, to art that appears to “move” when you walk by, there is something for everyone! From 10-5 today, on Third Street… enjoy!

Our darling little downtown will be host to literally thousands of visitors tomorrow when the International Cycling Classic & Superweek Pro tour arrives to race through Geneva! It's the talk of the town among all those bikers who are "in the know."
It's the first time Geneva has been involved in a race like this, so come out and support the racers and watch another amazing event in our community. Check out the link below for the schedule and for more information…we hope to see you around town tomorrow!
It's cheap and it's fun!! Take yourself and the kids to see the classics from around town…. there are a lot of cool cars in every shape and size, and perhaps the kids will get a kick out of seeing a vehicle that has a cigarette lighter, an ashtray, windows you have to roll up on your own, and NO DVD PLAYER in the back…. enjoy!!
With the fantastic weather we are having, today would be a great day to sign up for a few lessons from Geneva Kayak! It doesn't get any better than that….. a great workout, an up-front-and-personal view of the banks of the beautiful Fox River, and support of a local small business! Give it a try!
starting at 8 am today, you can take yourself and your family to listen to same amazing and talented folks competing at this music competition. A decades old tradition for the Saturday of Swedish Days, this competition is now in its' 40th year!!On a nice day, the music can be heard from as far away as downtown Geneva!!! Many folks who have lived here for years and years have never ventured out to witness this amazing event. I am confident in stating that I believe it is an event that will be enjoyed by any and all who attend!
Please remember to patronize the locals this week! These are the small business owners who donate to our fun fairs and our fashion shows, who bring tourists into our town to spend money, who volunteer at our wonderful festivals all year round!

I heard recently, from a life-long Geneva resident, that she had never been to Good Templar Park and really had no idea what it was all about! Many of us locals are in the same boat. Have you ever driven by and tried to peer into the little community of cottages to catch a glimpse of what's going on under the shade of the ancient trees back there? If so, then take yourself and your family to the 99th annual "Swedish Day" today, Sunday!
Today's event features AUTHENTIC Swedish celebrations and traditions, and tours of the darling little cottages tucked away in the Good Templar Park. For more information, visit www.swedishday.net
If you do celebrate with our Swedish citizens today, please come back and leave a comment… we are interested in getting your feedback on this cool event! Have a great Sunday!
