THIS WEEKEND IN CHICAGO - NOT QUITE IN FULL SWING YET!
We're not quite in full swing yet for the Holidays around here in Chicago. How lucky are we to have another quiet, restful weekend before we're back to non-stop activities?
Not to fret though. If you feel the need to get out and about, here's a run down of what's going on -
In charge of bringing the wine this Holiday Season and haven't got a clue? Well you're in luck. This Saturday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Navy Pier will be hosting their 3rd Annual Pinot Days Chicago Grand Festival featuring more than 300 pinot noirs. They'll even have winemakers on standby to assist with a selection. Click here for more details.

Well, leash ‘em up, put on their best holiday attire and head on over to the Goodman Theatre for Pooch on Scrooge this Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. for a chance to win a Goodman Theatre gift basket with tickets to "A Christmas Carol". Reservations are recommended, so click here, because an advanced registration includes a David Sutton pet calendar!
