You have eight days to catch it: Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, February 10-25. Enjoy an updated version of the classic comedy The Odd Couple.

GO FLY A KITE!

Kenosha is known for its Outta Sight Kite Flight each June. But kite flying in February?? It's not only possible, but it's happening February 11 at Prairie Springs Park. Don't miss the new and free Pleasant Prairie Kite Festival. Enjoy giant kites, kite team performances, a free kids kite making area, and more. Dig your own kite out or buy a new one from Gift of Wings at the event.

FAT TACO TUESDAY!

Tacos el Rey celebrates Fat Taco Tuesday on three days with All You Can Eat Tacos! Visit February 14, 21, or 28, for all you can eat tacos, unlimited soda, and a set of Mardi Gras beads. If you eat 15 tacos during one visit, you become a proud member of the Sombrero Club!! You win a Sombrero and your claim to fame!

CIVIL WAR MEDICAL WEEKEND!

On February 18 at the Civil War Museum, you can role-play as a sick soldier during a camp's sick call demonstration! Just make sure you're up off the cot during the bullet removal, brain surgery, and amputation portion of the demo! It's all part of Civil War Medical Weekend - a free event in which surgeons and nurses of the 17th Corps medical staff will set up camp inside the Museum.
