Top 5 Things To Do In Chicago - February 2018

January 24, 2018

The Bandwagoner: Edition 1

February is a tough month for the country, especially for Chicago.  The temperature rarely tops 30 degrees, the Chicago Bears haven't played in over a month, and it's not quite spring training for the Chicago Cubs or Chicago White Sox.  It doesn't get much better in the West Loop either for da Bulls and Blackhawks.  But, there is no need to panic my fellow Chicagoans.  Bandwagon Champs has you covered with the top 5 things to do in one of the coldest months of the year.

1.  Chicago Auto Show - Saturday, February 10, 2018 thru Monday, February 19, 2018
