Or\, visit the Model Train Extravaganza at Historic Pullman Exhibit Hall—featuring hundreds of feet of miniature track and vintage model trains\, courtesy of Chicago’s top model railroad clubs. Guests can also ride a Pullman-era CTA bus around the historic community. \nWalking tours will offer a closer look at Pullman’s rich legacy\, including the popular Tragedy to Innovation Tour\, the Illinois Labor History Tour\, and the First Sunday Walking Tour of the historic district. Live entertainment\, food from local favorites\, an antique car show\, and featured exhibits will round out the festival experience. \nTickets are available now\, with early-bird pricing of $25 ($22 for HPF members) through May 9. After that\, regular admission will be $35 ($30 for members). Children under 12 are free\, and new HPF memberships are 50% off during the event.

As a result of his efforts to assist fellow incarcerated individuals with employment opportunities\, he received an Individual Achievement Award from the State of Illinois. \n Cost: $30 General Public/$20 JAHM Members.  Go to: jolietprison.org/events. \nParking: Old Joliet Prison parking lot. \nWear your walking shoes! This tour takes about 90 minutes. Guests can expect to walk about 1.5 miles. \n

SUMMARY:Vintage Base Ball Match - Lemont Quarrymen vs. The Oregon Ganymedes & Chicago Salmon
DESCRIPTION:This club showcases the way base ball was played in 1858. At matches\, the Quarrymen tend their bases and scout the outfield without mitts\, always hoping that the “onion” is knocked their way. While at bat\, the ballists strike with their willows to knock the “apple out of the orchard” or “cut some daisies” in order to tally more aces than their opponents. For these Quarrymen winning is nice\, but its pursuit never dims their gentlemanly characters.\nSo grab your picnic blankets and lawn chairs and watch the Lemont Quarrymen battle the Oregon Ganymedes and the Chicago Salmon!\n12:00 pm      Quarrymen vs. Salmon\n1:30 pm         Ganymedes vs. Salmon\n3:00 pm        Quarrymen vs. Ganyamedes  \nFood will be offered for purchase.
