After summer travel ends and before holiday hype begins, there’s a span of time to enjoy the entertainment the region has to offer.
Here are six anticipated events to plan for this fall.
Feel the love of ’90s hip-hop soul when Ginuwine performs at 8 p.m. Friday at the Clearwater River Casino outside Lewiston.
Ginuwine’s sultry voice fueled R&B chart toppers like the No. 1 hit “Pony,” “So Anxious,” and “Differences.” A whole new generation got to know him when played himself on TV’s “Parks and Recreation” appearing as Donna’s cousin. Tickets are $20 to $50, available through TicketsWest outlets and ticketswest.com.

“Night of the Living Dead” is classic movie to watch in October but what if you could see it for real, in an eerie setting like the rural farmhouse where the movie was set?
You can when the Lewiston Civic Theatre stages “Night of the Living Dead” at the Clarkston Heights Grange Oct. 18-20, 25-27 and 31. “They’re coming to get you Barbara,” will take on a whole new meaning.
