Music
Logan Square Neighborhood Association presents the Halloween Shakedown featuring Mucca Pazza, Fandanguero and Ami Saraiya & The Outcome at the Logan Square Auditorium. This 21+ show will also have a photo booth and a costume contest, which would be a good time to test out your costume plans. It all starts 8 p.m. tomorrow and you can purchase tickets here.
Farming
Green City Market's Junior Board is heading to Leaning SHed Farm Sunday to help plan 30,000 cloves of garlic that will be ready for next spring. Since they'll be carpooling to Berrien Springs, MI, they need bodies who are willing to do this to RSVP by close of business today. If interested, email them here.
