Cultural Excursions
Our idea of "culture" is quite expansive and may include sports events (or viewing parties), theater, movies, concerts, trips to Chicago (on free museum day or otherwise) or area or regional gardens or house tours, and art-related classes or activities. Activities this last year included watercolor classes, lectures, a bar burger tasting tour, concerts, a Kentucky Derby party and a March Madness pool.
