Chicago Family Palooza 2016 February 19, 2016 Just because it is Winter doesn’t mean that the fun stops. On February 27-28 from 10:00 AM-6:00 PM at the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, IL, Chicago Family Palooza is providing the fun, both for the kids and kids-at heart and is the perfect answer to that daily Winter question “What are we going to do today?!”
Tłusty Czwartek (Fat Tuesday – the Polish Way) February 10, 2013 Fat Tuesday: the last day to indulge in richer, heartier foods before the fasting of Lent begins. Or, for some, it’s an excuse to throw your diet out the window and eat whatever you want only to then give up “the bad things” for 40 days and nights(ish) – no judgment. New Orleans is known for their Mardi Gras celebration: masks, drinking, parades, music, drinking, parties, drinking…you get the point. In Chicago – and other areas with large Polish communities – Fat Tuesday is also referred to as Pączki Day.
Pints, Pooches & Parties; Oh Mayfest! May 10, 2012 I love the city of Chicago! No, really I do. Especially in the summer time! There’s always something going on, right? Well, if you didn’t know that and find yourself bored on the weekends you can look forward to festival season. It’s quickly approaching and the city and burbs (yes, I know it’s suburbs) offer a variety of activities during the warm months. From the middle of May till the end of September, you can catch something every weekend.
