Things To Do This Weekend November 6-8, 2026

November in Lake County has a way of pulling people in two directions at once. On one side, there is the pull toward company: a flannel-clad bar crawl through downtown Fox Lake, a champagne stroll in Antioch with a mimosa bar you build yourself, and a shock-rock legend taking over the Genesee Theatre stage on Sunday night. On the other, there is the pull toward quiet: a full day of sound baths, yoga and silence among the horses in Lake Villa. And for anyone who has been waiting for the first real chill to justify a night at the theater, Arendelle has arrived in Lincolnshire, with a winter-long run of “Frozen” that is only getting started.

Illinois voters reject sales tax hikes

(The Center Square) – Illinois voters have rejected sales tax referendums in four Illinois counties. The margins were similar in Adams, Crawford, Lake and Tazewell counties, with between 54% and 57% of voters saying no to a 1% sales tax for school facilities. Americans for Prosperity Illinois Deputy State Director Brian Costin said the election on Tuesday was about affordability, and there is tax fatigue in Illinois. “This was an election about Trump, and it shouldn't be an invitation for Democrats to go back down to Springfield or locally to just decide that they're going to try to grab more money, pass more referendums, because in all likelihood, the voters will reject that,” Costin told The Center Square. Costin noted that Gov. J.B.

With the average sales tax hovering around 9% in Illinois, Costin said both

Geneva National to host WIAA boys golf tournament

The Trevino course was designed by World Golf Hall of Famer Lee Trevino in 1991, and underwent a substantial renovation in 2024. Geneva National has also hosted the Wisconsin State Senior Open, Wisconsin PGA regional tournaments, the Wisconsin State Open, and several LPGA Championships.
