About this event:

Join us as we welcome local Chicago historian, photographer and internet host Edward Kwiatkowski, host of the popular Chicago area Internet transportation photo site known as 'Eddie's Railfan Page', will present a musical photo slideshow and video presentation, spotlighting Chicago's once numerous and now long gone seasonal family owned amusement parks.
