THE CHICAGO AUTO SHOW HOSTS FAMILY DAY ON FEB. 15
CHICAGO (Feb. 15, 2016) - The Chicago Auto Show is holding its fourth annual Family Day on Presidents Day, Monday, Feb. 15. While show organizers work with manufacturers and exhibitors to coordinate family-friendly events throughout the entire run of the nine-day public show, Presidents Day will feature a particularly robust lineup of family fun.
"Now in its fourth year, we continue to build upon Family Day with more events and activities for families to come out and enjoy this great indoor winter festival," said Chicago Auto Show General Manager Dave Sloan.
