FLOW Film Fest and ISA's free tying sessions lead Go & Show

FLOW Film Fest leads Go & Show this week.

• FLOW Film Fest has eight short films, centered around human connection to water, including the first public screening of “Mussel Matters: Saving Critical Species in DuPage County.” It is free, open to all ages and requires no registration. It is at 7-9 p.m. Friday, March 22, at North Central College (Pfeiffer Hall) in Naperville. Other films are “Red – The Colorado River,” “The Worth of Water,” “Restoring Our Rivers,” “How ‘Forever Chemicals’ Polluted America’s Water,” “Road Salt: Street to Stream,” “The Studio” and “Alice’s Garden – Solutions for Clean Water in Milwaukee.” I would absolutely be at this, except this is my weekend to be on the other side of Lake Michigan.

• On Saturday, March 23, the Illinois Smallmouth Alliance has free tying sessions at Kappy’s Restaurant in North Aurora from 12-3 p.m. Options include, making inexpensive Ned jig heads, tying Fox River patterns, how to make Hover style rigs, how to tie with eyelash yarn and satin and tie along or watch.
