It's a gorgeous Monday in the Rockford area with mostly clear skies and mild temperatures perfect for getting outside. Local organizations are keeping busy this week—the 815 Stone Scrubbers are restoring veteran gravestones while folks prepare for the 2026 Celebration of Freedom festivities, and if you're looking for entertainment, the I Love the 90's Tour is coming to Hard Rock Live and Get The Led Out is headed to the Coronado Theatre.
