Hoopskirt and Haber-DASH
5K Fun Run

Saturday, August 27, 2022 8AM

$30 to participate

Race back to the 19th century in the Hoopskirt and Haber-Dash. This is a 5K fun run where you can dress like you just stepped out of a haberdashery in hat and tie, or that you just made your debut in the biggest hoopskirt you can find! The course is a mostly flat course in Abraham Lincoln’s Springfield, through Enos Park neighborhood, north to Lincoln Park, and back down again. After the run, stick around for a musical performance by the 10th Illinois Cavalry Regiment band and try your hand at playing 19th century cricket.

Fun costuming is encouraged, with a prize for the best dressed of the bunch. 

​

Dogs are welcome at the race (not inside the museum)! 

​

A race shirt is included in the registration price. Medals will be awarded to winners.

Murder Mystery Auditions

Friday, August 19 5-6:30PM
Saturday, August 20 10-11:30AM

It's that time of year again! We are holding auditions for our annual murder mystery dinner theatre and are looking for 6 suspects, 1 detective, and 1 victim to round out our cast of "An Un-Eco-Friendly Death".

The setting is in 1971 at a public meeting about the possibility of the expansion of a plastics factory. EverGreen, a not-for-profit protecting trees, is rumored to attend and protest at the meeting, so there is tension in the air. That tension snaps when the EverGreen regional director is murdered! 

​

More information about the parts will be up soon, so check back for more information. The performances will be October 21-23.
