SUMMARY:Kashmir: The Led Zeppelin Show
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE BAND \nFormed in 2001 by guitarist Frank Livingston\, Kashmir: The Led Zeppelin Show is a premier tribute dedicated to substance\, authenticity\, and technical precision. Eschewing the “costume-first” approach of typical tributes\, Kashmir focuses on recreating the raw energy and exact sound of a 1970s Zeppelin performance using vintage stage gear\, era-specific equipment\, and soaring vocals. From the iconic riffs of “Whole Lotta Love” to the cinematic mastery of The Song Remains The Same\, the band performs the entire catalog with a “dead-on” accuracy that honors the original recordings. For Kashmir\, the mission is simple: stay true to the music and capture the immortal spirit of Led Zeppelin without pretension.

SUMMARY:The Forge Trail Run Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Forge Trail Run Festival Returns with 10K\, 20K\, 30K\, 60K Events\nThe Forge Trail Run Festival will embrace the adventure and challenge of late-fall\, mid-west trail running with a 10K\, 20K\, 30K\, and 60K events.  The races will be run on single/double-track trails in The Forge and adjoining trails\, within the woods and on some gravel around the historic Lemont Quarries and I&M Canal. \nThe courses will have a common start / finish line within the Forge.  The courses wind through the single and double track trails within the woods and some gravel trails around the historic Lemont Quarries and I&M Canal throughout the Forge and adjoining trails. \nThe 10K will be one lap\, the 20K (Half Marathon) will be two laps and the 30K will be a three lap course.  Our newest offering – the 60K – will be six laps. Total mileage may not be precise\, but will be close to the promoted distances.  This is a trail race and we want the natural terrain and flow to guide the course and distance. \nThe gravel trails are flat. The single-track sections have variable terrain and surfaces ranging from dirt\, grass\, rocks\, mud\, more rocks\, roots\, mulch\, stumps\, critters\, etc. A few sections are technical with several short but steep inclines and downhills.  The defining character and primary challenge of the course is the variable surface.  There are not any significant elevation changes.   We would rate this course as moderately challenging for experienced trail runners and more difficult for runners with less experience on trail.
