FRIDAY - SUNDAY

Banjo beer night kicks off Saufen und Spiel in Johnsburg

Saufen und Spiel comes to Johnsburg from Friday through Sunday.

Festivities include banjo beer night Saturday night with two live bands. Throughout the weekend, a beer tent, family-friendly games, and more will entertain visitors.

Events take place at the Johnsburg Community Club, 2315 Church Ave.

The Saufen und Spiel parade starts at 12:30 p.m. Sunday.

A new route will take the parade from the Johnsburg Junior High parking lot on Church Street east on Church Street to Johnsburg Road, then southwest on Johnsburg Road through town to Spring Grove Road, where the parade will head north to Church Street and then east on Church Street back to the community club.

SUNDAY

Bears open season at Indy

The Colts are opening their new retractable-roof venue, Lucas Oil Stadium, by hosting the Bears in a prime-time game Sunday.

The Bears offense and quarterback Kyle Orton (above) put in a good showing in the all-important third preseason game, but the defense now is suspect. The Bears will have to put a complete game together to have any chance against Peyton Manning and the Colts.

The game begins at 7:15 p.m. Sunday and will be televised on NBC.
