For me, that’s not even a question. Not only can I play bingo, watch raid re-enactments, and ride the rides, DJJD is my version of Thanksgiving — stretched over a long weekend. You have no idea how much perfectly edible, good-and-greasy food ends up in those garbage bins! This year, though, I’m planning a feast break. That’s because Thomas Maltman, author of the critically acclaimed The Night Birds, will appear at River City Books from 2 to 4 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 6, to sign copies and talk with readers. I hope you’ll also stop by the store during this free event. more info (event) Jessie Jane’s Jamboree III: Lefty Lucy Start: 5:00 pm End: 6:00 pm Jessie Jane’s Jamboree III: Lefty Lucy by Brendon Etter, Fundraiser for the Northfield Arts Guild.

Hollering, foot-stomping, and a wee bit of yodeling, some jangling and twanging, the sweet scream of an electric guitar, and the mesmerizing drone of an accordion.
