Carl Sandburg College is hoping to help you, and help itself, through "Take Charge" enrollment days.  They're designed to get people enrolled for classes, and if they're new, familiarize themselves with the campus.

Gabi Hurtado, Sandburg's Director of Recruitment," talks about them with Will Stevenson on Galesburg's Morning News.

Here's another thing to do in Galesburg that won't cost you anything, or will cost you very little.  The Galesburg Great Balloon Race runs Friday night through Sunday morning at Lake Storey Park.

More than two dozen hot-air balloonists will take flight in competition, then let you get up close and personal with them.  That's in addition to food and other activities for children.

Greg Saul, organizer, talks with Will Stevenson on Galesburg's Evening News.

A relatively new Galesburg business is "sprouting" up from the back yard of a local home.

"Elementary Earthworks" started out as the idea of Rosie and Alex Theobald.  Their mission is to grow all-natural, chemical-free produce that they are then selling to the public, and to local restaurants.

As the Theobalds tell Will Stevenson on Galesburg's Morning News, they hope to find even more land in order to keep growing.

It's been exactly three months since the new Galesburg Public Library opened to the public, and Director Noelle Thompson says there hasn't been a day where it hasn't been busy.

Thompson provides an update with Will Stevenson on Galesburg's Morning News.
