Last week I gave you a chance to win a weekend family pass to the Chicago Toy & Game Fair. I have one more chance here on my blog for you to win passes to the fair. Since the fair is this weekend, I only have this giveaway open until Wednesday night. Good luck!
Here’s what you’ll be seeing at CHITAG this year:

Ben’s Bubble Show
Ben, a frequent Navy Pier entertainer, uses a few simple tools and his bare hands to make ginormous soap-bubble sculptures. He peppers his performance with humor and audience interaction, and is a big hit with kids. The show takes place throughout the duration of the Fair.
