Even though we were told by the nation’s most famous weatherman that we can expect six more weeks of winter, things are already beginning to heat up as the month of March begins to give us whiffs of spring here in the Windy City. Next month, the Chicago History Museum will be offering several special events including a celebration for Chicago’s 173rd birthday, a showing of the film Lioness, about five female support soldiers who saw actual combat in World War II, and OUT at CHM presents Queer Latinos: Art and Change. Be sure to grab one of our handbills which gives more details on these events!

We work regularly with the Chicago History Museum on a variety of promotional distributions, but now we’ll be helping them with a unique street promotion on election day. This Tuesday, we’ll be working in conjunction with their North & Clark Cafe to distribute coffee and muffin samples to voters who make it out to the polling stations early. There are two places to vote (the Latin School & the Chicago History Museum) and we’ll have teams at both locations handing out free samples to all who brave the weather to cast their ballots. The cafe will also have special hours that day (they’ll be open at 6am), so if you dig the samples, head over to grab yourself a proper coffee and breakfast.
North & Clark Cafe is located in the Chicago History Museum at 1601 N. Clark and is open daily from 9:30am-3pm Moday through Saturday, 12pm-4pm on Sundays.
