BASH ON WABASH CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS, VENDORS and TALENT
Do you have an interest in helping out in your community? Or, a local business you'd like to promote? How about a family friendly talent you want to share? Then we want you! GSLA's Bash on Wabash is Saturday, August 23rd and Sunday, August 24th this year. We're looking for vendors, performers and volunteers to help with this event. Our family fun area will have programming from noon to 6pm, and we'd love to focus on local talent--storytelling, music, sports, dance, and crafts are just the thing. This is also a great time for local businesses to highlight their products and services, even if you're not brick and mortar, with a booth in our main area. And, we need volunteers to help at the gates, in our tent and the family fun area. Come out, show your stuff, meet your neighbors and have some fun. Email info@greatersouthloop.org to sign up or get more information.

Wabash Avenue, once a thriving destination of commerce + activity, is a transformational opportunity in waiting. Resting between a vibrant State Street and the magnificence of Chicago's Michigan Avenue fronted Millennium Park, Wabash can again rise to celebrate the iconic 'L' and serve as a benefit to residents, visitors, tenants, property owners and investors alike. We aim to support the rise of the downtown Wabash Avenue experience.

Ping Tom Memorial Park
Location: 1700 S. Wentworth Ave.
|
|
Ping Tom Memorial Park's 12-acre site was originally a Chicago and Western Indiana Railroad yard located along the edge of the South Branch of the Chicago River in he Armour Square Community. In 1998, the Chicago Park District began transforming the old rail-yard into a beautiful rolling green space, taking full advantage of impressive river views. The park has a children's playground, community gathering areas, and Chinese landscape design elements.
In June of 2013, the Chicago Park District opened a new boat house in Ping Tom Park. The boat house offers kayak rentals during the summer season and a public dock that is available for use by non-motorized boats during park hours. Restrooms are also available to the public when the boathouse vendor is operating. For details on hours of operation, please visit www.urbankayaks.com.
