Day Trips 2024
 
All the BIG Stuff in Casey, IL Thursday, October 10th. We’ll take the bus to Casey, have lunch at Richards Farm Restaurant, and do a self-guided tour of all the BIG stuff in Casey! Many Guiness Book of World Record items are here! You will receive a map of what’s where, but most items are within a 3-block area.  You will also have a chance to visit the Wildflour Bakery and Candy company all within easy walking distance! This is a 3-sneaker trip for distance, but otherwise this is paved level ground. There are lots of resting spots along the way. You won’t want to miss this lighthearted trip during the beautiful month of October! (Praying for good weather, the trip goes on either way!) $60 for the day, tips and taxes included. See attached flyer for details!
 
Miners Theater in Collinsville, Sat. Dec. 21st. First we’ll enjoy dinner at Ravanelli’s, then head to Miner’s Theater to  hear the ShinSings Orchestra perform the Sinatra Christmas Big Band Tribute.  From Frank Sinatra, to Dean Martin, Michael Buble, Harry Connick Jr, and more. This 12 piece Little Big Band includes the finest musicians in the midwest, bringing the LasVegas Rat Pack heydays to life! We will have bus transport for this trip due to limited parking at both the restaurant and the theater. We also want to be prepared should it rain or snow. We’ll let the bus driver worry about the driving! $90 for the day. Non refundable tickets go on sale November 4th at 10 AM.
As always, my hours are generally Mon. Wed. Thurs. from 9 am till 2 pm. Please know, if I am in the office at the “house” my door is always open! If not at the “house” you can always leave a message at 618.667.2022 and I’ll get back with you as quick as I can!
