SUMMARY:Yesterday and Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience
DESCRIPTION:Step into the excitement of the British Invasion with Yesterday and Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience\, a nostalgic journey through the music that changed everything. Created by brothers Billy\, Matthew and Ryan McGuigan\, this isn’t a typical tribute concert—it’s a fan-driven celebration where the audience chooses the entire setlist. Before the show\, guests submit their favorite Beatles songs along with the memories behind them\, and moments later those requests shape a one-of-a-kind performance. \nFrom the first chord to the final sing-along\, the McGuigan brothers and their band weave audience stories together with their own lifelong love of The Beatles. The result is a shared trip back to the era of screaming fans\, transistor radios and the soundtrack that defined a generation. No two performances are ever the same\, as each night becomes a personal\, nostalgic celebration of the songs that still bring people together. \nA two-time Las Vegas headliner and winner of an Omaha Entertainment & Arts Award\, Yesterday and Today has played to sold-out audiences nationwide and set box office records. With pitch-perfect harmonies\, vintage vibes and a fully interactive format\, this unforgettable show captures the spirit\, sound and joy of Beatlemania live and chosen by you.

SUMMARY:Pumpkin Extravaganza – Family Day at the Village
DESCRIPTION:HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN FAMILY DAY\nKick off the Halloween “season” and celebrate autumn with a day for families of all definitions at Hancock Shaker Village.  Do the Spooktacular Scavenger Hunt (and earn a treat bag!)\, decorate a pumpkin (and take it home with you)\, visit our Fortune Teller\, meet Valerian the Garden Witch\, hear a Shaker ghost story\, learn about Shaker fall foodways\, and enjoy a leisurely guided fall walk on the Farm and Forest Trail. \n\n\n\n\n\nOur Family Day is rooted in the Shakers’ own enjoyment of Halloween.  Sister Olive Hayden at Hancock remembered Halloween celebrations in the 1920s:   “I must be the witch . . . I would fly around through those cellar archways in the dark\, and the kids were hollering. We told fortunes. Oh\, that was a wonderful time; they wanted their fortunes told . . . .”
