Iowa City’s native troubadour, Jason Reeves, returns to the Englert Theatre’s stage this weekend.

Don’t miss this concert, which promises to take the audience on a contemplative journey of love, hope, heartbreak and renewal.

The CRMA is the only Iowa stop for this nationally touring exhibit featuring more than 60 of Buck’s works including large-scale prints, sculpture, shadow boxes and more.

Ladies Tire Titan Challenge
Tuesday, June 2 through June 7
The Ladies Titan Tire Challenge is no ordinary charity golf tournament.

The Ladies Titan Tire Challenge is one of 17 stops — and the first-ever Iowa stop — on the LPGA’s official developmental tour known as the Duramed FUTURES Tour (Lorena Ochoa and Christina Kim began their professional careers on the tour and hometown-hero Zach Johnson got his start on the men’s equivalent) and will feature 144 professional female golfers (from 31 countries) vying for an LPGA membership card. Events include the 54-hole professional competition, teaching clinics, two Pro-Am tournaments and social events. Plus, event proceeds go to The Arc of East Central Iowa. Fore!
