Sunday, September 4th, is the last day of business for River Hawk Brewing in Channahon, IL. After 5 years of business on U.S Route 6 in the Mallory Plaza, they announced their permanent closing on Thursday, September 1st because of financial reasons, stating that “it is a difficult decision, but financially we see it’s our only option.” The craft brewery will stay open from 12 PM to 9 PM to welcome their last customer. 

On a sweeter note, Dan’s Homemade Candies situated at 1003 Plainfield Road, Joliet, is now offering their fall-season only caramel apples. Those caramel apples are made only during the fall by using Jonathan’s apples to create a sweet and sour candy. On top of that, Dan’s Homemade Candies is also adding new candies to their selections. Their novelty candies are chocolate blueberries, caramel marshmallows, sour poppers, and the chocolate oreo, which are now added to their choices of homemade caramels, English Toffee, and Dandies, as well as their sugar-free pieces. In the last few years, they have also opened their business to more candy options and are also offering popcorn, truffles, and hard candies.

On special occasions, such as Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, and Easter, they are offering special items like strawberries covered in different types of chocolate, heart-shaped candies, Christmas trees, and snowman-shaped chocolate, as well as easter egg baskets. Dan’s Homemade candies have been in business since 1919, and have two other locations on top of the one in Joliet, one in Mokena, and another one in East Joliet. Every location is open from Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 5.30 PM.
