Event Details
Unplug, unwind, and immerse yourself in the soothing world of nature and honeybees.
Experience the calming effects as you relax among the gentle hum of the buzzing friends for a blissful hour of “you time”. Your adventure begins with an introduction from the beekeeper, who will share the incredible benefits of being in nature and among bees. Did you know that bees buzz in the key of C, a sound proven to promote relaxation and reduce stress? (Of course, we make no medical claims here – just the wisdom of nature at work!)
Then, suit up into a protective beekeeping suit and step into the serene apiary, where bright yellow Adirondack chairs await you. Sit back, breathe in the fresh country air, and simply BE among the bees. Observe their fascinating work as they go in and out of the hive, listen to their soothing buzz, and if you’d like, record their sounds to take a piece of the experience home with you. With the provided smartphone-friendly gloves, you can easily capture photos and videos of this one-of-a-kind moment.
Afterward, continue your journey inside with an exclusive honey tasting at the Honey Bar. Sample up to 20 varieties of honey from around the world, each with its own unique flavor and story.
Escape the noise, embrace the buzz, and savor the sweetness of nature.
Limited spots available. Register in advance online at drycreekbeekeeping.com. Welcome to anyone ages 6 . $35 per person

The Guthries are an American Roots Duo that create music peppered with influences such as rock, folk, country, and blues. They are multi-instrumental, playing acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo, and light percussion. Expect the unexpected from these folks. They might easily swing from a latin rock beat right into a bluegrass ditty and then follow it up with some blues. There is never a dull moment with these two behind the microphones!

Event Details
Unplug, unwind, and immerse yourself in the soothing world of nature and honeybees.
Experience the calming effects as you relax among the gentle hum of the buzzing friends for a blissful hour of “you time”. Your adventure begins with an introduction from the beekeeper, who will share the incredible benefits of being in nature and among bees. Did you know that bees buzz in the key of C, a sound proven to promote relaxation and reduce stress? (Of course, we make no medical claims here – just the wisdom of nature at work!)
Then, suit up into a protective beekeeping suit and step into the serene apiary, where bright yellow Adirondack chairs await you. Sit back, breathe in the fresh country air, and simply BE among the bees. Observe their fascinating work as they go in and out of the hive, listen to their soothing buzz, and if you’d like, record their sounds to take a piece of the experience home with you. With the provided smartphone-friendly gloves, you can easily capture photos and videos of this one-of-a-kind moment.
Afterward, continue your journey inside with an exclusive honey tasting at the Honey Bar. Sample up to 20 varieties of honey from around the world, each with its own unique flavor and story.
Escape the noise, embrace the buzz, and savor the sweetness of nature.
Limited spots available. Register in advance online at drycreekbeekeeping.com. Welcome to anyone ages 6 . $35 per person

Event Details
I’m originally from Carpentersville, Illinois, and I now reside in the greater metropolitan Scales Mound, Illinois, area. I’ve been playing music out in clubs for nearly 40 years now. Yikes. My first love is blues, especially thirties and forties styles. I also play a variety of other traditional forms of American music, including twenties Tin Pan Alley and jazz, bluegrass, early country, cowboy, and whatever else strikes me.
Galena Cellars’ wine will be flowing as you enjoy live music by your favorite local artists for a relaxing afternoon in Galena’s countryside (music will be moved indoors if the weather is not cooperating).

The Guthries are an American Roots Duo that create music peppered with influences such as rock, folk, country, and blues. They are multi-instrumental, playing acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo, and light percussion. Expect the unexpected from these folks. They might easily swing from a latin rock beat right into a bluegrass ditty and then follow it up with some blues. There is never a dull moment with these two behind the microphones!

Event Details
When a New York born sound designer and Jeff Beck tribute artist paired up with a local singer/songwriter with untapped potential, they never imagined that their one time collaboration as buskers for a local street festival would ignite the spark of Central Illinois’ premiere acoustic duo, Black Velvet.
You will be singing and chair wiggling along with this family friendly, electricfying, husband and wife duo as they turn familar pop/rock hits into something new. With fresh takes on artists such as The Police, P!nk, Fitz and the Tantrums, The Beatles, Aerosmith and more, there’s literally something for everyone to enjoy.
They’ve quickly become a crowd favorite wherever they go, and are definitely one group you don’t want to miss.
