Museum Of Science And Industry Dec. 8 Christmas Celebration

[auld argonian]

Acting on a tip from our friends at the Chicago Taffia Society, I see that Saturday, December 8 is, basically, Celtic day at the Museum Of Science And Industry's Christmas Around The World exhibit....the Irish dancers start at 12:45 PM, followed by a church chorus, the Welsh dancers and, finally, a Scottish Country Dance demo at 4:30 PM.

Anybody? All you have to do is take the #10 MSI bus from State Street in downtown Chicago and it takes you right to the front door. Anybody want to try to get a kilted presence at MSI that afternoon? Sadly, the once free museum is now asking a $15 admission fee and are GENEROUSLY offering a whole $1 discount for those over 65....can they spare it?

I realize that the admission charge might be a game killer so if anybody else is serious, lemme know here....otherwise, I'll be at the bar at the Duke Of Perth because a Saturday afternoon is a terrible thing to waste.

Thanks for the tip AA.
Let me check with my wife.
We were just in Chicago last Thursday to look at the Christkindlemarkt. Spent over $30 just at the sweet shoppe on cookies and candies that reminded us of our times in Germany!
Not to mention the bratwurst, schnitzl sandwich, gluwein, and candied almonds.

Wish I had known, Tom...I was downtown Thursday and could have said hi.

I realize, too, that the actual Scottish part of the program is pretty late in the day....they're at 4:30 and they throw everybody out of the museum at 5:30....so it might be an inconvenient time...

Sounds fun. I think we have other plans that day, but if they free up I'll post to let you know.
