2019 Ford Edge ST
Have you seen the New 2019 Ford Edge ST? It is redesigned and also has the power to race a sports car. It has 335 HP and a 380 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine is a 2.7L V6 turbocharged EcoBoost. The ST badge means that it’s quick and agile. It has intelligent AWD with AWD Disconnect. What does that mean? It means it allows for the rear driveline to be disconnected to allow the front wheels to propel the vehicle. That makes the drag better and the efficiency of the drive even better.
This vehicle has some MAJOR power behind it and a sleek new look as well. It is the FIRST SUV from Ford Performance. They are fully loaded inside. Stop by and take a look at these Performance SUVS.

Cirque Du Soleil
If you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend, Cirque Du Soleil: Corteo will be in town. “Corteo, which means cortege in Italian, is a joyous procession, a festive parade imagined by a clown. The show brings together the passion of the actor with the grace and power of the acrobat to plunge the audience into a theatrical world of fun, comedy and spontaneity situated in a mysterious space between heaven and earth.
The clown pictures his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere, watched over by quietly caring angels. Juxtaposing the large with the small, the ridiculous with the tragic and the magic of perfection with the charm of imperfection, the show highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness, to illustrate the portion of humanity that is within each of us. The music turns lyrical and playful carrying Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality.” Source: visitevansville.com
This looks like a fun show to go to and is affordable. To get last minute tickets to this show, click here: Corteo Tickets

Inspired by true events, KINKY BOOTS takes you from a gentlemen’s shoe factory in Northampton to the glamorous catwalks of Milan. Charlie Price is struggling to live up to his father’s expectations and continue the family business of Price & Son. With the factory’s future hanging in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola, a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos. With direction and choreography by two-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Mitchell (Legally Blonde, Hairspray) and a book by Broadway legend and four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein (La Cage Aux Folles), KINKY BOOTS is the winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Choreography.
