Up to 20 can register at $15 per child. Up to 48 people can attend a food and wine demonstration dinner on Oct. 30 for $60 per person. Call (847) 781-2606 to reserve spots for those two events. The third event is a five-course dinner at L'Eiffel Bistrot and Creperie at The Arboretum of South Barrington. Price is $85 per person; call (847) 428-4783 for reservations.
