"Dead People of Illinois" with John Lynn
October 24th 2021 5PM-7PM Dead people — you can’t live with them, and you can’t live without them. Join us for an indoor slideshow presentation by John Lynn and outdoor dinner at the Grist Mill. Searching for dead people in all the right places, this "underground” presentation explores hundreds of Illinois cemeteries to find interesting graves and headstones, intriguing lives and deaths, and lots and plots of funny names. It’s an opportunity for mortals to not only whistle past the graveyard, but to pause and enjoy the oddities of life and death while we're still on the right side of history. Dinner will be served outside before the indoor presentation followed by dessert to minimize spread of Covid-19. Registration ends October 20. We will be following CDC recommendations during the time of this event on masking and social distancing; please bring a mask! If you have any questions please call 815.456.2718. Tickets are $25/person or $15/student with valid ID. |
