Your Saturday list is here, and it’s got a little range. 😉
Fresh finds at the Farmers Market. A free movie for the kids at Illinois Theater. A fish fry in Concord. Back-to-school fun. A 20th anniversary worth celebrating at Inner Harmony. An afternoon honoring Jacksonville’s history. And, apparently, we’re ending the day a little spicy at The Vault. 🌶️📚
That’s a pretty solid Saturday.
