New Year’s Eve Trip 2018…

Just a reminder of our yearly New Year’s Eve Trip!

New Year’s Eve falls on a Monday this year. Challenging for sure! We like to get out as a group and safely enjoy a fun night together to ring in the new year. We chose the elegant  Drury Lane Dinner Theater in Oakbrook for 2018. We invite you to join us for this holiday treat beginning with a satisfying four course dinner at Lucille’s Restaurant inside Drury Lane beginning at 6:00 pm. After our meal we walk a few steps to our seats and prepare for the intimate performance of the classic award winning musical “Beauty and the Beast.” Finding true love in the strangest of places, we enjoy the story of Belle, young and intelligent, who becomes the heroine of her own provincial life, breaking a wicked spell imprisoning a castle of enchanted misfits and a terrifying beast… alas, how does a moment last forever and how can a story never die… can’t we all use a bit of fantasy at this most beautiful time of year! We depart the Highcrest Centre parking lot at 3:45 pm – dinner at 6:00 pm – with our show staring at 8:30 pm and arriving back in Rockford about 12:30 pm. Happy New Year! Call or email us for reservations! 815.398.1454 or canterburytours@comcast.net.

Hamilton: the EXHIBITION
On Display on Northerly Island, Chicago

Alexander Hamilton’s remarkable story has inspired millions of Americans. Now, you can see it through his eyes in this 360-degree immersive exhibition inspired by the revolutionary musical.

Featuring an audio tour narrated by the musical’s creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton: The Exhibition is designed to take visitors deeper into the life and times of Alexander Hamilton, while at the same time chronicling the American Revolution and the creation of the United States of America.

With a dynamic and interactive mix of lighting, sound, multimedia, music and historical artifacts, you will experience how it felt to write the way Hamilton wrote, fight the way Hamilton fought, and live the way Hamilton lived.

Sit at Hamilton’s desk and discover how his work as a trader in St. Croix gave him the skills to create our country’s financial system. Gaze upon the streets of New York with detailed replicas of the city in 1776. Step into George Washington’s war tent as you learn how the Revolutionary Army planned their shocking victory in the
Battle of Yorktown.

Hamilton: The Exhibition posits new questions about Hamilton’s life and the founding of America, ultimately leaving us to ask the question — how can we leave our own legacies for future Americans?

We are looking to purchase tickets for Wed. Nov. 28 or Thurs. Nov. 29, 2018,
if they are available. Departure by 8:00 am, tour the exhibit around 10:30, with time in the area to have a bite to eat.
