Aurora, IL - The
Aurora Historical Society recreated the working-class culture of 1910 with its
Friday night fundraiser, "When The Factory Whistle Blows." The sold-out event centered around a fictional
saloon at 24 N. Broadway and included a visit from temperance crusader Carrie
Nation, who famously believed that alcohol and cigars led to the downfall of
families — and was known to take a hatchet into saloons and destroy illegal
barrooms. www.fundraising-ideas.org Sunday, October 2, 2016
