Rock out Friday through Sunday at North Coast Music Fest--This is going to be a good one! Hopefully North Coast will become an annual tradition as summer's last stand. We love these guys. They just raised the age of free children from under 10 to 12 and under, because they know families rock!
**All children 12 years and under will be admitted to the festival free of charge. Because North Coast is generous, and kids deserve good live music too.

Mammoths & Mastodons exhibit at The Field Museum is going the way of the dinosaurs and will be extinct after September 6th.
The exhibition, developed by The Field Museum, marks the first display of the baby mammoth in the United States and includes not only Lyuba's preserved body, but also scientific evidence shedding new light on mammoth biology. You'll discover how Lyuba enhances our understanding of the evolution of mammoths and their relatives: modern-day elephants, which are facing their own struggle for survival today.
Also highly recommended:
