Fall has arrived! Happy first day of Autumn. It really will feel like fall outside this weekend, but that doesn’t mean the fun stopped in Lake County. Here are some of my picks on things to do this weekend. What are you plans for the weekend and where is your favorite place to experience fall in Lake County?
1. Bring your children to the Great Lakes Naval Museum on Saturday at 1pm to learn how the United States Navy hid its ships in plain sight using camouflage, also known as Razzle Dazzle. The Great Lakes Naval Museum is free and open to the public, so while the kids are learning about a 900 ton ship, parents can observe artifacts from the Navy’s history.
2. Stop by Downtown Antioch this Saturday from 5pm – 11pm for the 99 year Street Dance and Fireworks show. Dance the evening away to the music of Modern Day Romeos and Bella Cain. The village has rescheduled their 4th of July fireworks show for Saturday evening.
