Foodies, step into Oh So Sweet for a design your own donut bar or enjoy 1/2 off BBQ Pops at Me & Billy. The QC Food Hub will be featuring their brand new assortment of house made sandwiches, soups and baked goods! Many shops in Bucktown are offering complimentary treats and drinks, plus Great River Brewery has $1 off pints!  Click here for a full list of participating businesses.

We are so stoked for the lineup this weekend at River Music Experience! Friday night you can catch local favorites, The Candymakers, and Saturday... drum roll please... the legendary LEON RUSSELL is back playing in the Redstone Room! If those shows don't pull you out of winter hibernation, we aren't sure what else will.  

The QC Food Hub is hosting a Winter Wellness with Herbs class on Saturday from 10 am - Noon. Students will learn how to make herbal tinctures to maintain winter health with local herbalist, Natalie Hessell. Learn what to do for things like colds, coughs, stomach upset, mood boosters and more! 

The Big Brothers Big Sister Putt-Around officially teed off at the River Center yesterday. Where else can you go miniature golfing in the winter and support an important cause?! The event also has free food, cash bar, music, contests, raffles and a Big Putt challenge for $10,000! Register online to reserve a tee time.

Congratulations are in order for our good friends and neighbors at Daytrotter on a successful grand opening concert!  Eighteen historic apartments and a world-class studio/venue later, the historic Renwick Building project is now fully-realized.  And there's much more of that to come; Daytrotter wants you to see music's next big act in Davenport! Speaking of, do you have your tickets yet to Daytrotter Downs?

Thanks to everyone that came out on Saturday to join us for Icestravaganza! We had record attendance and were glad to see so many families out enjoying an event in the midst of winter. One good thing about this freezing weather is our ice sculptures are still hanging around at the Freight House. Go check them out while you still can!
