Eat For A Good Cause, Or Just Because It's Delicious, This Weekend

There's the Big Greek Food Fest, the Ethnic Arts Fest and BBQ for the Troops. Wear your loose pants!




BBQ For The Troops


Enjoy hot dogs, hamburgers, brats and more, and donate what you like to the USO. It's at Evanston Subaru  on Oakton in Skokie, which is also giving car washes--and of course donate to the troops for that, too. The USO is raising awareness--and funds for--services needed by military personnel. It's from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The Big Greek Food Festival


People come from throughout the Chicago area for this food, lovingly prepared by volunteers at St. Haralambos Greek Orthodox Church, on Caldwell in Niles. There's lamb on a spit, moussaka, shish-ke-babs, other lamb dishes, spanakopita and pastries dripping with honey, plus a band, Greek dancing and kids' activities.
