Winner Announced & Beat Kitchen Concerts for Kids Kick Off Tomorrow 9/30

Congrats to Robin B., ChiIL Mama's family 4 pack ticket winner ($32 value)!   We'll see you tomorrow--Sunday 9/30 from 11 to 3pm for a day of rockin' awesome kindie fun.   

Be sure to say hey to us upstairs at ChiIL Mama's Rock Tots Photo Spot! 

We'll have loads of fun dress up clothes and instruments for you to try out, and free ChiIL Mama stickers, too.   


Here's the scoop:

Tickets $8 - available online at http://www.beatkitchen.com/ or at the door.   All activities from music on the main stage to face painting, crafts, punk rock hair do's, and ChiIL Mama's rock tot's photo spot (dress up & instrument petting zoo) and more included. 

*Please note, Beat Kitchen is now cash only.

First 50 kids get maracas from On the Go Chicago.

Main stage schedule:

11am: Mary Macaroni

12pm: Suzi Shelton with special guest Little Miss Ann and Chicago  favorites Jeff Peek on guitar, Carmen Taglia on bass and Pat Milani on  drums

1pm: the Old Town School of Folk Music's Young Stracke All Stars

On the second floor in the Party room we'll have:

** ChiIL Mama's Rock Tots Photo Spot--Dress Up and Instrument Petting Zoo**

** Punk Rock Hair Do's by PsychoBaby**

**Face Painting by Super Stolie**
**Turn trash into tunes with The Wishcraft Workshop!**

Bring a recyclable or two (think plastic bottles, plastic strapping,  smallish
pieces of cardboard, toilet-paper tubes...) and Wishcraft will show you how to make a musical instrument.  Wishcraft is a fun ordinary  workshop in Roscoe Village in which young artists grow to become  confident in their creative freedom in art + craft classes, day camps,  clubs, after-school programs and birthday parties. 

Yes, they teach art.  More importantly, they ignite creativity. Inventive projects are  designed for ready-success and skills are
taught within the context of  relevant projects with a no-judgment philosophy.

The workshop provides a  quality learning experience, showing that the
application of math,  science and creative problem solving can create something functional and  fun. Creative reuse is encouraged whenever possible and many of the  class and party projects use recycled, natural, found and gluten-free materials. (Did we already tell you that it’s fun?)

Sunday noon shows for non-Fest shows are still just $6.
