Hi everyone! Some bloggers have reached out to me regarding the U.S. Blogapalooza event. The event will be happening on Saturday, August 26 in the Chicago area. Thank you to those who signed up and helped pay the deposit over the past few weeks. The money was used to reserve the location. There is still lots of room for others who may want to attend. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at: amaya587@gmail.com Dinner is $30-40 per person. You are also welcome to bring guests. The meal can be paid for at the restaurant. We will have guest speakers and fun! Although this is a smaller event, I know it’s still going to be a blast! Unfortunately, a few bloggers had to cancel or couldn’t go this year. This will most likely be the last post regarding Blogapalooza. The list of attendees so far includes:
Marci from What’s for Dinner Moms
Tracy from A Joyful Process + 1 guest
April E. Sutton from April’s Prospective
Lisa from Life of an El Paso Woman
A few other maybes
Please let me know if I forgot anyone ASAP!
Event Info
Our dinner will be held at Chicago Prime Italian in Schaumburg, Illinois on Saturday Aug. 26, 2017 at 6 p.m. for about three hours. Depending on traffic, Schaumburg is around 40 minutes away from Chicago using public transportation or a taxi. You may even be able to stay in Schaumburg. We (the Blogapalooza Committee) decided on Schaumburg because costs were more reasonable than Chicago. The meal includes an appetizer, soup or salad, Italian entrée, drinks (non-alcoholic is a separate cost) and dessert. Please feel free to share this by reblogging and/or social media.
Oh yeah. I spent lots of time in Schaumburg when I lived in the area. I’ve been away for a number of years, but had lots of fun there in the late 80’s.
