Some upcoming live events around Chicago

 We're still not meeting in person on Fridays, but for those of you who are ready to venture out into groups of people, here are some live events around Chicago that we've heard of, that might be of interest:   

Jan 27-28, 2023: Madison Folk Ball - Madison, WI - https://www.facebook.com/people/Madison-Folk-Ball/100080154913514/

For more festivals of various sorts around the Chicago area, see: https://festivalguidesandreviews.com/illinois-festivals/chicago-festivals/  If you're somewhere else, they have links to lists of festivals in other states, too.

This post will be updated as we learn of other events.  Be careful out there! Here's a link where you can check COVID levels in Cook County:  https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view?list_select_state=Illinois&data-type=CommunityLevels&list_select_county=17031&null=CommunityLevels
