An evening of classic '80s rock is promised at Mt. Carroll's Timber Lake Playhouse on July 26 when the venue treats fans to a night with Bad Medicine, the exhilarating touring musicians who will deliver a first act of Bon Jovi hits and a second act of "Non Jovi" smashes, featuring favorites by the hard-rocking likes of Poison, Van Halen, and Guns N' Roses.

Returning to downtown Davenport for its incredible 51st year, the Quad-City Times Bix 7 will again find runners and walkers taking on a seven-mile foot race alongside live bands and cheering crowds, the July 26 event famed for being the largest non-marathon race in the Midwest, having captured the imaginations of thousands upon thousands of enthusiasts from both the United States and countries around the globe.

Offered as part of the Davenport venue's popular “Kaffee und Kuchen” series, the German American Center's engaging July 27 program The 1919 Army Convoy & the Interstate Highway System will find presenter George Eaton speaking on the "Truck Train" of the U.S. Army Motor Transport Corps that drove more than 3,000 miles from Washington, D.C. to Oakland, California.

For the fourth straight year, and with company favorite Jacob Lund directing, the Quad Cities' classical-theatre company Genesius Guild will close its summer season with a madcap, somewhat modernized slapstick co-written by Haus of Ruckus founders T. Green and Cal Vo, their adaptation of Aristophanes' ancient-Greek satire Peace running in Rock Island's Lincoln Park June 26 through August 3.
