SUMMARY:LaSalle County Out of the Darkness Walk
DESCRIPTION:The Community Walks\, held in hundreds of cities across the country\, are the core of the Out of the Darkness movement\, which began in 2004. These events give people the courage to open up about their own connections to the cause\, and a platform to create a culture that’s smarter about mental health. Friends\, family members\, neighbors and coworkers walk side-by-side\, supporting each other and in memory of those we’ve lost. \nNow\, more than ever\, it’s important to be there for one another and take steps to safeguard our mental health and prevent suicide. \nJoin the LaSalle County Out of the Darkness Walk on Saturday\, Oct. 12\, starting at 10 am in Washington Square Park. \nRegister today and be part of the movement to walk #OutOftheDarkness.

SUMMARY:Ottawa's Smoketoberfest
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, October 12\, 2024\, for Ottawa’s Smoketober Fest & BBQ Competition at the Jordan Block in beautiful downtown Ottawa\, from 12 PM to 5 PM. Enjoy live music\, rib tasting\, whiskey\, and bourbon tastings\, and an exciting BBQ competition. This year\, we’re thrilled to introduce brisket to the competition\, with competitors starting their cooking on Friday night. Stay tuned for potential plans to add a tailgate party on Friday\, October 11. Don’t miss out on this delicious and fun-filled event! \nOld Rip Van Winkle Bourbon raffle\, $20 per entry An interesting 10-Year-Old Bourbon\, bottled at 107 proof and brimming with complex and often contrasting flavors\, Old Rip van Winkle’s 10-Year-Old Bourbon is a scintillating and spicy expression of the Kentucky distiller’s versatility and willingness to push boundaries. Not satisfied with resting on their laurels and the “Pappy” prototype\, the 10-year-old is a punchier and more pronounced bourbon that brings forth a bounty of complex flavors\, boldly toeing the line between spice and sweetness. On the nose\, a nuanced blend of butterscotch\, caramel\, and ginger is enticing before the palate bursts with spice\, nutmeg\, and tobacco with a faint burnt caramel aroma that gives way to a warm\, oaky\, and slightly dry finish. Another groundbreaking release from the van Winkle brand\, and one that should gain cult status among fans of punchier bourbon whiskeys.
