    Finn, it IS something that you and Mrs. Finn should do. There are a lot of things other than Celtic Fest going on and it's a great destination.

    Reminding the folks that Celtic Fest is free...sponsored by the City via the many sponsors that participate.

    Anybody thinking about coming in from out of town, I recommend looking into one of the multi attraction Chicago Passes...admission to most of the museums has gotten to be rather steep these days and any breaks you can get will be good. We had the New York version of these passes last year and it was a considerable saving.

    Mark, it IS Chicago's front yard but try telling that to those people who bought condos downtown and now think that it's their exclusive recreational facility...what a bunch of dimwits!

    To possibly tempt anybody who's not local, needs a wee vacation and is on the fence:

    http://www.navypier.com/

    http://www.artic.edu/aic/index.php

    http://www.millenniumpark.org/

    ...do you think that I'm just a little prejudiced?

    Best

    I happily invite all to begin Celtic Fest at my condo downtown. We can the head to my front yard from there.

    I'll be there both days.

    And talking about tempting the Rabble, don't forget this fine establishment -
