Happy Left-Handers Day, Batavia!

Here are a few things taking place today, Aug. 13, 2013, in Batavia, IL.

Happy Left Hander’s Day in Batavia. Aug. 13, 2013, is the 23rd annual celebration of all things left-handed. You can find out more at the official site of the Left-Handers Club. Can you name any famous Batavia left-handers?

Many of us remember when the Berlin Wall came down. But probably a lot of folks don't realize that today (Aug. 13) in 1961 the Berlin Wall was put up as a border between East and West Germany. 

The city of Batavia's Joint Committee of the Whole is at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 13.


And the Kane County Forest Preserve board meets today.
