​​​​ NAPERVILLE – Once dubbed by Rolling Stone as “the greatest female country singer since Patsy Cline,” Wynonna’s rich and commanding voice, that has sold over 30 million albums worldwide, can be heard at North Central College in Naperville on October 14 at 8pm. Wynonna, along with her band The Big Noise, will explore the past, present and future of her extensive 33-year career on the 2017 Roots & Revival Tour. Wynonna has described the new sound as “vintage yet modern” and a “return to the well.” It’s a rootsy work encompassing country, Americana, blues, soul, and rock. “This tour is so different for me. It’s not about the big production, and I’m stripped of all the gimmicks. I love these smaller venues because I’m able to have more interaction with my fans. Fans breathe life into the music.” Wynonna & The Big Noise, led led by husband/drummer/producer, Cactus Moser, released their debut full-length album in February 2016. Wynonna loves working with her husband. “He’s so positive it’s irritating. I say that jokingly, but he’s always Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky. Getting to do the musical part together is a bonus. When you love what you do and love each other, it’s perfect.”Being in the third chapter of her career, Wynonna and the band are working on a new record. “I’m in this really feisty mood,” she says. “The industry is tough as it is, but it’s been an amazing season for me. There’s freedom after fifty, baby!” -Kristen KucharskiPurchase tickets atwww.finearts.northcentralcollege.edu/event/wynonna-big-noise #GlancerMagazine #ArtsEntertainment #NorthCentralCollegePerformingArtsTheater #WynonnaJudd #Naperville #TrendingNow #October12017 #October152017

SEPTEMBER 29, 2017 Friday night Anderson's Bookshop and North Central College hosted a literary event with legendary horror writer, Stephen King and his son Owen King, to an audience of 3,300 fans. The two writers took turns reading from their collaborative new novel, Sleeping Beauties and answering various questions about the story and their writing process. Among many laughs, Owen told tales of his growing-up years, and Stephen had a message for writers to “stay brave and write the story you want”. Both writers claimed their best first-readers were their wives, whose opinion they revered. After reading Sleeping Beauties in three straight days, Tabitha, Stephen’s wife said, “It reads like a freight train!” Sleeping Beauties is on shelves now and available at Anderson's Bookshop Downtown Naperville. -Mindy Kyle CLICK HERE TO VIEW PHOTOS & TAG FRIENDS Photos by Mike Catuara for Glancer Magazine Copyright 2017 Glancer Magazine Invite us to your event at info@glancermagazine.com #TrendingNow #SceneAroundSuburbia #MikeCatura #Naperville #NorthCentralCollege #AndersonsBookshop #StephenKing #MindyKyle

NAPERVILLE –Naperville Police have charged a Plainfield woman with filing a false police report after learning that the woman fabricated a story about being robbed of her wallet and wedding rings in a parking lot near Route 59 and 95th Street on September 12, 2017. A Will County judge on Friday, September 15, signed a warrant for the arrest of Tara R. Arenz, 33, of the 5500 block of Hickory Grove Court in Plainfield. Arenz is charged with two counts of Disorderly Conduct, a class 4 felony. Will County Judge Carla Policandriotes set bond at $250,000. “The filing of false police report is something we take very seriously,” said Police Chief Robert Marshall. “This erroneous claim consumed a lot of department resources and caused a great deal of concern among members of our community, who feared for their safety as a result of the report. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated.” The Naperville Police wish to remind the public and the news media that a charge is merely an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. SOURCE: Naperville Police Department Her story was posted in social media and also featured on ABC-7 News causing quite a concern among residents. The story has since been removed from the ABC-7 News website. #TrendingNow #GlancerMagazine #Naperville #Community #LIfestyle

LAS VEGAS FROM A TEEN PERSPECTIVE After our amazing tour of three National Parks, we spent two nights in Las Vegas. I knew Las Vegas was famous for gambling and wasn’t sure what my brother and I were going to do to pass these two days. My mom said Vegas had a “few” things that may keep us occupied. Little did I know, that was a total understatement. So what were the highlights of Vegas from this teen’s viewpoint, and what did I learn from this trip? Highlights: 1. The Roller Coaster at our beautiful hotel--New York New York-it’s beyond thrilling! 2. Cirque du Soleil-Ka–There are no words to describe this show. Trust me! If you do nothing else in Las Vegas, please see this show. It’s a life changer! 3. Chocolate- The Hershey Store is awesome! If you love chocolate, you will never want to leave this place! 4. Beautiful Hotels-My favorite hotels were Bellagio, Caesar’s Palace, The Cosmopolitan, Excalibur, MGM and of course, New York New York. 5. The Food-The food in Las Vegas was delicious. We tried a different restaurants each day. We also enjoyed room service which delivers 24/7. Yes, we had brownie ice cream sundaes at 1am (What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!) 6. The Shopping- There’s a plethora of stores along the strip. My favorite was Nectar. 7. The Pool- After a full day of walking up and down the Las Vegas strip, a cool swim in the hotel pool is rejuvenating. Life Lessons Learned in Las Vegas: 1. Adults can be quite creepy–There are people on the street handing out cards to disgusting adult establishments. Do not take the cards-- just walk on by. 2. Try to be open minded–you will see all different kinds of people in Las Vegas that you’ve probably never seen anywhere else in your life. Although your eyes may pop out a bit, try to remain open minded and not be judgmental. Remember: Everyone has a story. 3. People in Vegas are very confident about their bodies. I noticed lots of women at the pool who wear bikinis, no matter their body type. I actually liked seeing that they were not self-conscious. I thought Las Vegas was a blast. There is certainly plenty to do for teens. Viva Las Vegas!
