Good morning, Aurora.
🏘️ Community
The Aurora Lions Club will host its annual Great Pumpkin Halloween pancake breakfast on October 25 at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church at 27 S.
Edgelawn Drive to support programs for people with vision and hearing problems. The event offers all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage, mini donuts, orange juice, coffee, and milk — free vision exams, balloon sculptures, face painting for young children, and accepts sneaker and eyeglass recycling donations, with tickets at $10 for adults and $8 for children.
🌲 Environment
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources says unseasonably warm weather — combined with drought — is delaying peak fall colors across the state.
Northern and central areas, which normally show bright colors by mid-October, and the south, normally colored by late October or early November, may see changes later this season.
