Oktoberfest Practice Party

Hill Vintage & Knits store warming party

Saturday: It all started with a traveling camper named Heidi, filled with vintage finds from estate sales, garage sales and thrift stores. A year later, Erica Carnes and Jessica Miller are opening Hill Vintage & Knits, a vintage store with men’s and women’s clothing, as well as yarn and notions, they’ve collected from searching nooks and crannies across the country. Celebrate the opening with music from DJ Eight Ten of Pressure Drop, plus snacks and booze at the store, starting at 4 p.m. The store opens for business at 11 a.m. Friday morning, so you can stop in early for a sneak peak at the goods. Free to attend. Hill Vintage & Knits, 432 E. Locust St.

Saturday: Start your engines. The annual Iowa Corn Indy, one of the Newton Speedway’s most popular races, will send Indy Car drivers zipping around the Central Iowa track this weekend.
