First of all, we'd like to congratulate palvizu and tddalton, our two winners in our drawing for 5 free tickets to Kiddieland. Thank you to the 104 of you who participated - we love to see your pictures and learn more about you.
The long Labor Day Weekend is here, and there's all sorts of family-friendly events and activities going on all over Chicago and the suburbs. There are many festivals throughout the area, so rather than try to fit them into one particular day in my newsletter, I changed the format a bit. I've listed a few events for each day, and then listed some of the festivals separately. Most of the festivals run all weekend, but not all, so make sure you check the schedules for each.

And when you decide to take the kids out to eat, please check our Kids Eat Free Calendar first, so you know where they can eat free or cheap. The calendar also lists restaurants offering special entertainment (like magicians) for kids.
