We will wait until 4:20 p.m. then we will go as a group to the Old Town Art Fair which will celebrate its 60th anniversary on June 13th and 14th as the charming, tree-lined streets of the city's historic Old Town Triangle District will set the stage for 260 nationally acclaimed artists and an estimated 50,000 art lovers. This will be our first stop from 4:30 to 6 p.m., when they close.

Then after the Old Town Art Fest closes at 6 p.m., we will venture over to the Wells Street Fest which stays open until 10 p.m. Besides the main attraction of world-class art, The Wells Street Art Festival offers a vast array of entertainment. A main music stage features continuous live rock, jazz, and top-name, nationally-renowned headline entertainment. In addition, the
festival boasts a vast assortment of Chicago's best food, live musicians along Wells Street, a silent auction and more! you.

    Despite the weather predictions, I am still planning on being in front of the entrance to Treasure Island food store located at 1639 N. Wells at 4 p.m. I will wait with the group until 4:20 p.m. If the weather is good, then we can proceed to the fest. If not, we will go to a local bar. In either case, I hope you can attend. -Scott
