Music showcase, fall trivia among things to do around Galesburg
The weekend brings Knox Music Dept. Showcase and a Fall Music Trivia fundraiser, along with fundraisers, live music and more to the Galesburg area. Lost Lingo and Agatha Christie novels What: Agatha Christie’s earliest novels are 100 years old, with words and phrases that puzzle modern readers.

Husband and voice actor, Don, narrates the excerpts as Kate explains them. Take a deep dive into the wit and wordplay of Agatha Christie to discover hidden gems that have delighted readers for over a century. When: 2-3 p.m. Oct. 23 Where: Galesburg Public Library, 264 W.
