FREE EVENT - In the shadow of the Palace of Fine Arts (AKA the Museum of Science and Industry) we will gather for a picnic to remember the October 30th, 1893 closing of the Chicago Exposition and its subsequent cremation. This event is BYOP (bring your own picnic), but picnickers are encouraged to bring food that can be shared (if you wish). Tables will be set up, however, picnickers will need to bring their own chairs or blankets. Croquet and other games will be available to play.
If the weather does not cooperate, we will turn the event into a Steampunk invasion of MSI and enjoy the interior of the Palace of Fine Arts :)
