THIS WEEKEND IN CHICAGO - A HODGE PODGE WEEKEND!
With temperatures rising
above freezing this weekend in Chicago,
you might consider partaking in one of the following outdoor activities,
especially if you're climbing the walls:
The Lakeview Polar Bear Club's Eighth Annual Celebration of Shrinkage
will be held at Oak Street Beach. This event is free; however, donations will
be accepted on behalf of a local family in need. Of course, taking a dip in the downright frigid
waters of Lake Michigan is not mandatory but
could prove to be very invigorating. Are
you up for the challenge? Click here
for more information.
Millennium Park is hosting their Frozen Fun
Fest. This winter celebration
has much to offer with various ice-themed activities for adults and kids alike,
as well as hot chocolate vendors to keep the chill off. Click here for more details.
If you're in to Jazz, the Evanston Jazz Festival is this
Saturday, 7:30 p.m., at the Evanston
Township High School Auditorium (1600
Dodge Avenue).

E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont.

So,
do yourself and your family a favor, and get out of the house this
weekend. Who knows, you may begin to feel the stirrings of summer
approaching, and hear in the distant
winds those words we've been longing to hear again - PLAY BALL!
