Hey there I used to always go to http://stlouis.indymedia.org/ to see what was going on each month. I dont know if it will help at all but hopefully. I am from the Belleville area, and so far as I know there wasnt much. St. Louis was the closest.
http://www.stlimc.org/mod/calendar/index.php this is the link to the calendar. And I dont know there might be more going on now.
