Cambridge offers free play
CAMBRIDGE College Square Park will be the site of the summer theatre performance of Craig Sodaro’s Tom ‘N’ Huck, which will start at 7:30 p.m. On Tuesday, Aug. 3.
The cast is a conglomerate of students from Cambridge and Geneseo Schools and members of the community of Cambridge. The performance is free to the public and will feature a pie/cake raffle to raise funds for future performances.
The play is the first performance of a summer community theatre program, thanks to the support of the summer AIM Program through the Henry Stark Bureau Regional Office of Education. The AIM Program has been a part of Cambridge Schools for over five years, but this is the first public play.
Garden Club roots itself to Arbor Day

Why do we celebrate Arbor Day? Arbor literally translates to “tree” day in Latin. It is the holiday that celebrates the planting, upkeep and preservation of trees. For centuries people over the globe have found many ways to honor nature and the environment. The appreciation of trees and forests in modern times can be attributed to Arbor Day. This year it is April 30, here in Illinois is it the last Friday of April. Some states celebrate it on different dates according to the climate, for example, Hawaii celebrates it on the first Friday in November and Alaska on the third Monday in May.
