|
 Four sisters make their way to one venue this weekend when SHEL arrives at River Music Experience! See what these four sisters have in store for you as they combine creative freedom and talent into a collective sound. Enjoy the August weather while you still can on Friday during Friday Live at 5, too! This week, MidAmerican Energy sponsors The Low Down for a surefire show! Don't miss up-and-coming indie rockers Desert Noise on Tuesday at RME, as well. To all you ladies out there, tonight's the night for you to relax over cocktails and healthy conversations at the RiverCenter. Join Women's Connection when they present 3 Simple Ways to De-Stress Your Life this evening. Be sure to wear comfy clothes so you can try out some yoga poses and dance moves while you're there! Stop at the Adler Theatre too and get tickets for the upcoming show featuring The Office's Creed Bratton on September 19th! If you haven't had a chance to explore the Questionable Architecture Exhibition at the Figge, now's your last chance! Come see movable structures made by hand from one of the Quad Cities very own before the exhibition closes Sunday. But where one exhibition closes, another opens. Check out Colony Interactive and work together to build a new colony at the Figge. What a way to build community! Saturday is a day of firsts for some downtown businesses! Be a part of Gallery 114's first ever Salon Show this Saturday. Enjoy various art along with live music by Mover and Shakers and comedy by Andrew King. Also on Saturday, the Quad Cities Food Hub will host the first of many seminars to come. This weekend's class revolves around Fall Crops and Harvest- Seasonal Plant Support. Show up a little early to peruse the Farmer's Market beforehand. Finally, we owe a big THANK YOU to all of those who made River Roots Live the best show we've ever done! We hope you enjoyed the beautiful weather, BBQ, and unforgettable music as much as we did. We're already looking forward to RRL's 10th anniversary next year!See you downtown!
