The Rockton American Legion assures you that you will be at the right event at their September 6 Wrong Event Party, no matter how you're dressed.

Today's news from your friends at Rockton-Roscoe News - stories from Rockton, Roscoe and South Beloit.

  • The Rockton American Legion is inviting everyone to a free but perplexing party on Saturday, Sept. 6. Show up like you're going to the wrong event - be ridiculously overdressed, dramatically underdressed, or just hilariously out of place. No context needed. There will be $100 prize for the weirdest outfit, two featured food trucks, an ice cream truck, and a DJ.
Strong spirits: relinquish?
It means letting go of troubles and treasures, problems and pleasures.
