Ho ho ho, did anyone hear that? Is Santa making his rounds already?

It might not be Santa himself, but we’re already planning for our annual Santa’s Station festivities!

New this year, nonprofits interested in hosting a Santa’s Station night can use the linked form to share their interest. We’ll check our list twice and reach out directly to nonprofits selected to participate.

Please note that due to the volume of inquiries we receive, we may not be able to respond to every submission. Don’t worry, that doesn’t mean you’re on the naughty list. We promise!

Interested in hosting a Santa’s Station night? Fill out the form to let us know! We will begin reaching out to non-profits on Friday, Oct 23rd!

Well, it’s not a true Midwest welcome home until the weather decides to get involved.

Due to expected weather, the Harrison Gordon Hometown performance has been moved to the Castle Theatre. An indoor venue gives the performance the best chance to rock on, regardless of what Mother Nature tries to throw our way.
If you were planning to head to the performance Thursday, still do so! Just don’t come to Uptown Normal. Head to the Castle Theatre instead.

Still free. Still going to be awesome. Just a new location.
