designed to galvanize
the basic warrior attrib-

kicks off with an
evening reception
Thursday, Oct. 23, at 9
p.m.
Pearls showcases the
area’s finest artists and
brings together diverse
and stimulating pieces
of work.
The show is held in
conjunction with the
Elgin Hogeye Festival
and runs through Sat-
urday, Oct. 25, from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m.
Thinking about partic-
ipating this year? The
time to apply for a spot
is now.
There are awards for
both two- and three-di-
mensional work.
Participants may sub-
mit up to six works not
wings.
Pretty plants such as
basil, tansy and
marigolds smell pretty
bad to mosquitoes, so
these are ideal to plant
around the porch or
patio or anywhere peo-
ple are enjoying being
outdoors.
Remember, mosqui-
toes find their targets by
sensing the carbon diox-
ide people exhale. Sim-
ply using outdoor fans at
the next barbecue can
scramble their sensors.
