Trip to Chicago (IVSU's Mid-Autumn Festival)
Recap
Thanks for everyone who came out to the Chicago Trip! We had lots of fun bonding
through the car ride singing along to songs and getting lost in the city =)
Michigan Avenue was great to shop and walk around; the hotel and night
experience was unforgettable. After eating such great food in Chinatown and
Vietnamese town and catching many of the city sights, we attended IVSU's
Festival. It was great getting to play with kids, but unfortunately we had to
head back to Bloomington before it got to late. Thanks for all eleven
participants who made the trip and hope to see them again at our social night.
