SUMMARY:Haunted Tractor Rides
DESCRIPTION:Something has been spotted in the orchard after dark… 👀🌙 \nRed eyes flicker between the rows. Shadows move where nothing should be moving. Strange sounds follow Bessie’s trailer\, where ghostly spirits\, massive spiders\, and things far worse may be waiting in the dark. \nWhen the calendar turns to October\, the orchard gets a little darker. Haunted Tractor Rides begin October 1st. \nThis year’s ride is not for the faint of heart. Each ride lasts approximately 30-35 minutes and carries brave riders through eerie orchard trails\, chilling scenes\, and the kind of shadows that make you wonder who\, or what\, is riding beside you. 👻 \nRecommended for ages 7+. If you’re looking for a gentler experience\, the 7pm ride each night is an all-ages version for families who want the Halloween magic without the nightmares. \nTickets are limited by time slot\, and these rides are known to sell fast. Choose your night\, gather your group\, and book before the tractor leaves without you. \n📅 Thu\, Fri & Sat nights in October\n⏰ Ride times: 7pm\, 8pm\, or 9pm\n🎟️ $20 per person\, online only\n👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Ages 7+ recommended\, 7pm rides are all-ages friendly

SUMMARY:Futureproofing Democracy: Towards Hopeful and Achievable Elections in the US
DESCRIPTION:IN PARTNERSHIP WITH UI POLITICAL SCIENCE\, JOHNSON COUNTY AUDITOR’S OFFICE\, CITY OF IOWA CITY\, AND UI HAWK THE VOTE\n​​ \nIn the final program of the fall series\, Professor Barry Burden paints a picture of the U.S. election system and discusses ways to implement a hopeful vision for securing the integrity of its elections\, building trust in the nationwide\, decentralized elections system\, and ensuring accessibility for all people eligible to vote. Sharing case studies and the work of scholars\, pro-democracy civil society organizations\, and political actors committed to a fair and robust electoral process\, he explores the practical importance of increasing civic engagement\, representation\, and political accountability. Following Burden’s presentation and his discussion with Professor Caroline Tolbert and Johnson County Auditor Julie Persons\, attendees will see how a clear-eyed\, actionable\, and optimistic approach can lead to stronger political norms and greater voter confidence—and how it takes a large tent coalition from all political and ideological persuasions to realize such a system. \nFutureproofing Democracy\nTowards Hopeful and Achievable Elections in the US\nFriday\, October 23\, 2026\n6:00 PM – 7:30PM​\nUI Old Capitol – Senate Chambers\n​\nReception with Free Catered Food 5-6:00 P.M.\n​\nHosted by ICFRC Executive Director Peter Gerlach
