Telemundo Chicago joins the Chicago Automotive Trade Association (CATA), known as the oldest and largest metropolitan dealer organization in the country, to sponsor the “Chicago Auto Show” in its 106th year, which will be held at the McCormick Place (February 8th – 17th 2014). For the last eight years Telemundo Chicago and the CATA have united to promote and sponsor the oldest auto exhibition in the country. During this event, which lasts for ten days, Telemundo Chicago will dedicate February 14th as “Hispanic Day at the Chicago Auto Show”.

Telemundo Chicago presents “Hispanic Day at the Chicago Auto Show” Friday, February 14th, 2014, where families will have the extraordinary opportunity to enjoy the exhibition with a touch of their own culture. There will be Latin music, cultural presentations and other entertaining activities. This year Telemundo counts on the talented Penelope Menchaca as their special guest.
