KENOSHA — The Italian American Society, 2217 52nd St., will celebrate its 89th Columbus Day banquet Oct. 13. State Rep.

Covelli, recently retired after a 30-year career with the Kenosha Unified School District directing the Tremper High School bands. Cocktails begin at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m. The $30 ticket fee includes the cocktail hour, family-style dinner and dessert.
