Music is the name of the game this month in Cook County
Singer/songwriter Lindsay Mac comes to the Arrowhead Center for the Arts with a performance on Saturday night, Feb. 28. The concert is sponsored by the North Shore Music Association and should be fantastic. Mac is a nationally known musician who plays the cello like it’s a guitar with great energy and inspiration. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. For tickets, call 387-1284 or visit www.tix.com.

Helping Families Get Outdoors

The woods can be a bewildering place. Families may be full of questions and fears about spending time outdoors—so how can they learn about the woods? A how-to guide, perhaps?

Enter the "Becoming a Boundary Waters Family" book. The book, due out this spring, is full of "woods wisdom," aimed to teach families how to enjoy the outdoors together.
