Team up with Bii Hair Salon for a benefit Cut-A-Thon to be held from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday, August 3 at the salon, 1955 Huntley Road, West Dundee. The event affords an opportunity to tuck away that bad-hair-day ballcap and step up to the plate for the Illinois District 13 World Series Challenger Team and help "send 'em to the series!"
