The Valley Review’s Weekly Rundown provides all you need to start your week right — a touch of history, some info on what Mother Nature has in store and a game plan to make good use of your down time.
Here’s your rundown for Sept. 30-Oct. 6.
This week in Fox Valley history:
55 years ago: Ray Dorschner’s Rainbow Valley Dutchmen performed at the Oct. 3, 1964, “Over 30” dance at the Cinderella Ballroom. The next day, Alvin Styczynski, the concertina king from Pulaski, pulled the crowds onto the dance floor.
