175 days to love Chicago

Hi everyone!

I hope you are doing great. The City of Chicago celebrated its 175th birthday on March 4th, 2012. To celebrate this special date, the city promotes 175 days of special events, festivals and promotions, many of them FREE. Until August 26th, Chicago's summer will be offering visitors and chicagoans dining deals and guided tours created exclusively for this celebration.

In addition to the annual events like the Taste of Chicago, Air and Water Show (the biggest in the US), LoolaPalooza and the Chicago Blues Festival, the City is promoting multiple events across the city. Also, the baseball season has already started and will last until September 30th! It's going to be a nice summer to stay around Chicago!

One of the most interesting activities are the ones offered by the Chicago Photography Center (http://www.chicagophoto.org/). They offer Certification Programs, Boot Camps, FREE SRL classes and FREE camera cleanings. I've actually wanted to take classes for a while, so this is a nice chance to finally go for it!
