Where/When: Village CycleSport Arlington Heights, 1313 N Rand Rd, Arlington Heights. Saturday, Feb 26 from 11 am to 4 pm.
Why go: Support a good cause while simultaneously testing the latest in cycling equipment. Participants bring their own bike and ride on the store’s CompuTrainer group system. Prefer mingling to sweating? Non-riding attendants are also welcome – and, according to the group’s website, three marriages and one baby are the result of people who have met at the event!
Pricing: Free to attend, donations gratefully accepted
Where/When: , 26 N Williams St, Crystal Lake. Saturday, Feb 26 at 8 pm.
Why go: This unique group is like nothing you’ve ever seen before, combining bagpipes, rock music, comedy and dance. Definitely not an evening at the symphony – in a good way.
Pricing: Tickets $32 to $38, purchase at the box office website.
Where/When: , 30 N Williams St, Crystal Lake. Next on Saturday, Feb 26 7:30 am to 8:30 am, held weekly on Saturdays through the end of April.
Why go: The Running Depot will raffle off a gift certificate each Saturday for attendants – hopefully that will inspire participation in this slightly early - and maybe slightly cold - run!
Pricing: Free

Why go: Support local businesses at this free event, with over 100 area exhibitors showcasing their products and services. Also enjoy the Expo Café featuring local restaurants and fabulous raffle prizes including a trip to Walt Disney world.

Why go: Enjoy the last of the snow (hopefully!) while learning to cross-country ski in the forest preserves of Rollins Savanna in Grayslake.
Pricing: $5/person for Lake County residents, $7/person for non-residents. Registration required, participants must bring their own ski equipment. Call 847-968-3321 to register and/or inquire about rental equipment.
