- Why Go: Mr. Blotto was born in Chicago as an off-night vehicle for musicians who loved each others playing but were in different bands at the time. The only rule was that they would only play what they loved. That philosophy continues today and has led Mr. Blotto into unique musical situations.
- Mr. Blotto takes the Jam band aesthetic into areas unfamiliar to the standard Jam Scene. They have been known to cover entire albums by Led Zeppelin and the Who as well as perform entire shows of Country and Reggae. Artists as diverse as the Grateful Dead, the Flaming Lips, Willie Nelson and The Velvet Underground have seen their material interpreted by Mr. Blotto in the 2000+ shows the band has performed in the last 15 years, yet covers only pepper the bands hefty catalog of original material stemming from five studio albums and other unreleased crowd favorites.
- Fee: $10

- Why Go: All Libertyville area congregations are invited to a prayer service in observance of The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. The theme "We Will Be changed by the Victory of Our Lord Jesus Christ" is taken from I Corinthians 15:51–58. The service will include an anthem sung by the combined choirs of participating churches, and the Polish tradition of sharing a special wafer, the "oplatek", as a sign of love, unity and forgiveness. Pastor Dwight Nelson of Libertyville Covenant Church will be the preacher. Members of the various churches will lead in the prayers and Scripture readings. An offering will be taken to benefit the Libertyville Township Food Pantry. There will be a coffee hour following the service. The Graymoor Ecumenical and Interreligious Institute has published the service for the Week of Prayer each year since 1908. The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity invites the whole Christian community throughout the world to pray in communion with the prayer of Jesus "that they all may be one." (John 17:21)
