Join us at First Draft in beautiful Grayslake! Celebrate NFL kickoff with author Joe Ziemba for an entertaining look at the wacky early days of the Chicago Bears, moving from the team’s inception as the Decatur Staleys to its dominance of the National Football League, including four NFL titles from 1940-1946. Relive the rowdy, formative years through audience interaction, rare archival photos, and surprising insight into local historical figures such as Red Grange, George Halas, and Al Capone.
