Ice Skating at Daley Bi is tentatively scheduled for this Saturday (November 24th)! subject to weather. I stopped by there last night and one of the employees said they are planning on opening it for skating on Saturday. It looked like it's all set up, they just need some colder weather.

I don't know about the tree lighting.. what tree, where?

This past weekend was the Mag Mile Lights Festival when most of the trees downtown became lit.

I meant the big tree in Daley Plaza.

I found some information on the tree lighting.. it is the 94th annual

http://egov.cityofchicago.org/city/w...nTypeName=1006

If that link doesn't work go to http://www.cityofchicago.org/specialevents and look for "Chicago's 94th Annual Christma..."

Also, http://www.chicagoparent.com/resource_view.asp?vID=755

"The City of Chicago hosts Santa Claus, the Chicago Children’s Choir, cast members from The Goodman Theatre’s A CHRISTMAS CAROL and the Apollo Chorus of Chicago to officially kick-of the holiday’s at the 94th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, Friday November 23, beginning at 4:30 p.m. This year’s event promises to be a family affair as guest emcees will be Phil Ponce (WTTW Channel 11) along with his son’s Anthony Ponce (NBC 5) and Dan Ponce (ABC 7)."

I wasn't aware all there were three Ponce's in Chicago media. I guess I don't watch much local news.
