Episode #34 "Our Kind of Town!"

Welcome to another episode of the award-winning “Candid Candace- The Podcast”! My co-host/producer John St. Augustine and I have a LOT of great ideas to help make your summer fun! First up, I share my behind-the-scenes news from Pit Road where I eyeballed this year’s NASCAR event. I give you dozens of reasons why NASCAR is a good partner for the city while NASCAR president Steve Phelps tells you what HE thinks about it. We also chat about new events coming our way, including the Thirsty Ears Festival (Chicago’s only classical music festival); a new event to benefit the Chicago Police Foundation; Infatuation’s EEEEEATSCON at the Salt Shed with Common, Usher and Chance; The Service Club’s fashionable “Denim to Diamonds” fundraiser; River North Design District’s Fall Gallery Walk; the Chicago Lighthouse’s FLAIR “Eye on Style”; Amdur Production’s Printers Row Art Fest; Randolph Street Market’s exciting fall lineup; PAWS Chicago Beach Party; the Lincoln Park Zoo Ball; Navy Pier’s 108^th birthday party (you are welcome to come!) AND Chuck and I get ready to celebrate our 35^th anniversary on July 21. Whew! No one can say Chicago isn’t having a busy summer! So, sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
