Living Colour at Ribfest
Ribfest announced that Living Colour will perform as a supporting act to Billy Idol on July 3. Living Colour’s sound is a mix of rock, funk and hip-hop, which launched them into the limelight more than 30 years ago. The two-time Grammy winning band joins a lineup that already includes Flo Rida on July 4 and Brantley Gilbert on July 5. Ribfest officials said the July 6 headliner will be announced soon.
Riverview Farmstead
History came alive for visitors at the Riverview Farmstead Preserve tour. The group explored Thomas and Margret Clow’s property and got a closer look into the farm equipment and household items they used. Though the land was settled in 1850, the Clow family is the prominent owners after they purchased it in 1858. If you’d like to visit the farmstead, there will be another tour on Saturday, July 20.
Goose Eggs
There are at least three young goslings roaming about Stella the Goose’s nest, which she made at Toyota of Naperville for the second year in a row. Stella is very protective of her babies, so if you decide to take a gander, be sure to stay behind the coned-off area so that the new family doesn’t feel threatened.
