Donley Auctions

Donley Auctions presents an extraordinary catalog spanning centuries of tactical evolution, craftsmanship, and historic milestones. From heavy cavalry armor and Mughal-era edged weapons to Civil War relics, vintage military timepieces, and rare World War II optics, this carefully curated sale brings together pieces of immense historical depth and captivating provenance.
Encompassing centuries of conflict, exploration, and pageantry, the auction showcases an impressive breadth of categories designed for serious historians and collectors. Bidders will discover magnificent antique armor and helmets—such as the French Bourbon Restoration-era heavy cavalry armor set in Lot 2000—alongside historic swords, bayonets, and daggers. The selection features authentic Civil War and Indian Wars artifacts, period engravings, and prints like the 1859 Washington and Lafayette at Mount Vernon engraving in Lot 2002. Furthermore, the catalog extends deeply into vintage military timepieces and optics, highlighted by the 1941 Hamilton 4992B navigational gimbals watch in Lot 2194 and the precision WWII German 10x80 flak binoculars on tripods in Lots 2144 and 2145, alongside vintage uniforms, helmets, web gear, commemorative medals, badges, signal cannons, and training ordnance.

Parker Players Theater Company

Parker Players Theater Company Presents The Roommate by Jen Silverman
What happens when the person who moves into your spare bedroom opens the door to an entirely different life?
Parker Players Theater Company presents Jen Silverman’s The Roommate, a sharp, funny and unexpectedly moving comedy about friendship, identity and the possibility of starting over—at any age.
Sharon is recently divorced, living alone in Iowa and wondering what comes next. Enter Robyn, her new roommate: mysterious, unconventional and carrying a past that is decidedly more colorful than Sharon’s. As the two women become fascinated by each other’s lives, their unlikely friendship begins to challenge everything they thought they knew about themselves.
Sharon has spent a lifetime doing what was expected of her. Robyn has spent hers breaking rules and reinventing herself. But as each woman begins trying on pieces of the other’s world, The Roommate
asks a provocative question: Are we defined by who we say we are—or by what we choose to do next?
Directed by Kurt Naebig and starring Barrington residents Ann Field and Jennifer McHugh, The Roommate is an intimate, entertaining two-woman play filled with humor, surprises and genuine heart.
For anyone who has ever looked at their life and wondered, “What if I’m not finished becoming who I want to be?”
The Roommate opens October 16 and runs through November 8. All performances at The Parker Players Theater: 540 W Northwest Hwy Barrington 60010. Tickets on sale now via link to website (click 'more).

Comedian Paul&nbsp;Farahvar headlines a night of laughs at Hey Nonny in&nbsp;Arlington&nbsp;Heights.&nbsp;Come laugh the night away with Paul and some of Chicago's best comedians including Lauren Vino,&nbsp;Owen Damon and Katie Kincaid.www.paulfarahvar.comwww.instagram.com/paulfarahvarChicago based Comedian Paul Farahvar delights audiences with his unique, quick witted dry humor, centered on being a practical but aging bachelor and former litigator.&nbsp; After quickly becoming a staple on the Chicago Comedy Scene for years at his home club Laugh Factory, he began touring, first as a feature for headliners like Demetri Martin and Gary Gulman, and later as a headliner.&nbsp; With no manager or agent, he managed to build a following in multiple cities, even selling out rooms in Chicago, Rockford, Denver, Milwaukee, Scottsdale, Sarasota, St. Petersburg and Tampa. He has toured with Dusty Slay, Chris Franjola, Gary Gulman, Demetri Martin, Jason Salmon, Bret Ernst and Greg Fitzsimmons as their handpicked feature.
He was runner up in the Chicago Reader for Best Stand up Comedian in 2021 and was voted "Top 40 Up and Coming Comedians" in 2017.&nbsp; Prior to being a comedian, Farahvar was a trial litigator, also earning the "Top 40 under 40" honor in Illinois.&nbsp; His podcast SINGLES ONLY&nbsp; was accepted into to the prestigious SWSW in 2020 and was&nbsp;voted Best Podcast in Chicago (2022). He was a regular guest host on WGN Radio for years and played "Karam Haddad" on NBC's "Chicago Med."&nbsp; &nbsp;His Dry Bar special&nbsp;“Always a Groomsman" dropped in April, 2023 and his special “Middlewestern, Middle Eastern”&nbsp;with Helium Comedy Studios&nbsp;dropped in April, 2024. He has recorded two Nateland Comedy short specials and a Zanies special and was one of two Americans invited to the Halifax Comedy Festival in May, 2024.
As a touring comedian, he utilizes his platform to raise awareness for the Parkinson’s Foundation, a cause very close to his heart which his father suffered from. He has raised over $50,000 for Parkinsons Foundation in the last few years as well and thousands of dollars for other causes like Autism and Suicide Prevention. &nbsp;Never one to be complacent, Farahvar continually seeks ways to assert his creative talents as a host, writer and producer. &nbsp;In &nbsp;2024, he began the “Why Are You Awake” Podcast to bring attention to creatives and night owls like himself and in 2026 starts a new unique interview show called "Stuck with Paul” in an elevator.

For over a decade, the Morton Grove Farmers' Market was a popular event that brought the community together outdoors from late spring through early fall and also held indoor markets for the holidays which welcomed attendees for free. We are continuing that tradition with our twice yearly "Market Faire" this Fall on October 24 presented by the Morton Grove Chamber of Commerce - <a href="https://mgcci.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://mgcci.org/</a> - with the support of the Morton Grove Park District.
Rich Block, President of the Morton Grove Chamber was also managed the Farmers' Market who wanted to bring back an indoor event for the holidays for the residents of the village and surrounding communities to enjoy. The spirit of those markets continues as a place where people come together to meet, eat and enjoy entertainment while shopping for items from local artisans and crafters, visit with service providers and get information from the village and local organizations. 
 The first event was titled as a "holiday faire" attracting shoppers interested in seeing vendors who provided all that was needed for the holidays (gifts, catering, music, photographers, decorations, party rentals and more). That concept transitioned to an artisan crafts fair as others wanted to share their goods and services who offered gourmet foods, home repair services and more from home based businesses. We quickly outgrew our original locations and found a new home at the Morton Grove Park District's Prairie View Community Center on their first floor main gym that now allows us to have expanded the amount of vendor tables with easier access.&nbsp;
The Chamber's goal is to grow these Market Faires (this fall on October 24th from 9 am to 2 pm. Next Spring Market Faire will be May 8 close to Mother's Day in 2027. We are growing into a twice yearly, popular event for all to find interesting items, services and information while meeting their neighbors. We hope you will join us and share the event with your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and anyone interested. Please help us spread the word so we can more people to attend the market. For more about the Morton Grove Chamber or our twice-yearly Market Faire please contact us at 847-965-0330 or by email at: Director@mgcci.org THANKS...we hope to see YOU at the Faire!
