Mr. Rogers Exhibit

Inspired by Mr. Rogers’ factory tours, the DuPage Children’s Museum is helping kids explore the world of making. “How People Make Things” is the name of the newest exhibit at the museum. Kids can smash pennies using different presses, wind their own springs, pour wax into molds to make shapes, and even build the trolley from Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood. The exhibit will be set up through September 6 to give everyone the chance to come and learn about making.

Broc Rutter in Hula Bowl

Sunday night will be a big one for North Central College quarterback Broc Rutter. After leading the Cardinals to their first ever Football National Championship back in December, the Division III record holder for career passing yards was selected to play in the Hula Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii. Rutter was also named the 2019 winner of the Gagliardi Trophy, which is given to the top player in Division III football. The Hula Bowl can be seen January 26th at 9:30 pm on CBS Sports Network.
