Top Oktoberfest Celebrations in Chicago September 6, 2012 We may just be a week into September, but it’s time to start talking about Oktober. Because Chicago has tons of events that pay homage to the German festival Oktoberfest. The keg may not get tapped in Munich until the 22nd, but we in Chicago get to start off the celebrating as early as next week! Here’s a list of a couple events:
Chicago’s Women-Only 5K: Pretty Muddy in Orland Park September 5, 2012 The Pretty Muddy women’s mud run is arriving in Chicago on Saturday, September 15th at Pretty Muddy Farms in Orland Park.

A women-only event featuring obstacles, great activities, a pretty awesome after party and yes, the opportunity to get muddy.
Real Men of Chicago, Restaurants Raise a Glass of Rose to Support Bright Pink Charity August 2, 2012 As the Wine Director and Co-Owner of BIN 36, I have the opportunity to support various charities and organizations through donations and special events. This August, I decided to take our philanthropic efforts a step further by creating the “Real Men Drink Pink” campaign, benefiting Bright Pink, the only national breast cancer organization focusing on the prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in young women while providing support for high risk individuals. Their efforts and work resonate with me on a personal level.
