Looking for something to do this weekend? The town of Robbins is having an all-day music and craft festival -- and when I say "all-day" I mean it. The festival starts with a kayak short course for young people at 9 am and concludes at 11pm following a biathlon, a boomerang demonstration, boxcar racing, extensive crafts show, and live music.

John Chappell of The Pilot has the full story.

Robbins has a lot to praise but one recent addition to the town is the Deep River Coffee Company which has terrific coffee and features live music on Thursday nights. The coffee shop is often mentioned in conjunction with the towns redevelopment efforts. My wife and I have stopped-in several times and always enjoyed the atmosphere, food, drink, and the customers -- it is probably one of the top coffee shops in Central Park.
