It’s a widely varied and scattered Go & Show this week.
- The Indoor Fishing Flea Market, which has become a beloved institution, is Saturday, March 8, at Rolling Meadows High School and leads Go & Show. I love the show, as much for meeting people as the rows and rows of fishing stuff. I can’t make it because our daughter is leading a memorial service Saturday.
