Katy Perry in Dream Sequence at Mohegan Sun

Pop superstar Katy Perry makes a stop at Mohegan Sun Arena Saturday night, June 25, on her California Dreams Tour. The California girl's 5 million-seller “Teenage Dream” album is one of only nine albums to yield four or more Hot 100 number one singles on Billboard. First came "California Gurls," featuring Snoop Dogg, then the title single, next "Firework" and last "E.T." – which hit No. 1 on May 12. Perry thus became the first artist in history to spend a whole year in the top 10 of Billboard Hot 100.

Perry has won People's Choice Awards and various international honors. She is savvy about social networking and is plumbing that arena to prop up her connection with fans on this tour.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $45. For information, call 888-226-7711 or visit theMohegan Sun Web site.

CC Revisited at Foxwoods

There are certain songs you'll never tire of. Among them are “Down on the Corner,” “Susie Q” and “Proud Mary.” Throw in a little weather-appropriate “Who'll Stop the Rain” and you know we're talking Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Two if its members, Stu Cook and Doug Clifford, couldn't leave those tunes behind either and so they formed Creedence Clearwater Revisited back in 1995. That band will perform Thursday, June 23, at MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods.

Revisited's version of CCR has toured North America, South America, New Zealand, Europe and Asia and preserved the popular sounds in its latest album Recollection.

Tickets are $30-50. The show starts at 8 p.m. For information, call 800-200-2882 or visit theFoxwoods entertainment Web site.

For his television show, he collected a Golden Globe Award, Emmy nomination and the People's Choice Award for “Favorite Male Performer in a Television Series” – eight years running. He also appeared in the hit movies The Santa Clause and Wild Hogs.

Flat Stanley Party in Tolland

Well, you know about Flat Stanley Lambchop. He got that way when his dad hung a big bulletin board over his bed and, well, it fell and flattened Stanley in his sleep. But our unflappable hero, created by author Jeff Brown, picked up his two-dimensional self and went on. He slid under doors, let his little brother use him as a kite and even masqueraded as an artwork in a museum to catch thieves. He even enjoyed being mailed to his friends for visits. On Wednesday, June 29, kids ages 6 and up can go to a Flat Stanley party at Tolland Public Library.

Festivities go from 1 to 2 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Sign up by calling Mrs. B at 860-871-3620 or e-mail her at vbrousseau@tolland.org.
