5 Things to Do: February 10 - 12

Rev up for an exciting weekend!

It's a family fun kind of weekend, including games, movies, music and good old-fashioned car gawking. Here are 5 great ideas:

Chicago Auto Show
Opens Friday, February 10
McCormick Place, Chicago

Let your inner grease monkey out—here's your chance to ogle over the latest makes and models, peruse cars you can afford and those that are daydream—"When I win the lottery!"— worthy. The show isn't just cars, either, with plenty of hands-on activities for even the littlest enthusiast to enjoy.

Family Bingo Night
Friday, February 10
Winnetka Community House

Join your friends and neighbors for Friday night fun at the Community House. Besides, didn't you just bet your kid you could beat them at bingo? Here's your chance—and it comes with snacks and beverages for all ages.

 

"Happy"
Saturday, February 11
Northbrook and Skokie

It's World Happy Day on Saturday, and you can celebrate by attending a screening of the wildly popular documentary, "Happy," at either Northbrook Court or Skokie Village Crossing.

GLASA Play for All! Day at Chicago Children's Museum
Saturday, February 11
Chicago

Support GLASA with this fabulous one-day event at the Chicago Children's Museum—kids of all afges and abilities are invited to explore the museum. Special activities and speakers are also scheduled—don't miss it!

Zoe Keating at SPACE
Saturday, February 11
Evanston

This isn't your average cello concert—Zoe Keating is a one-woman show, and a phenom, to say the least. Highly entertaining original music that speaks to all ages. Her evening show is sold out, so get your tickets for the 2 p.m. show now!

Wait! There's more ...

Cardio Striptease—Looking for a fun girls' night out? Glenview Park District is hosting a Friday night dance party—celebrate that inner goddess with a workout!
