{"description":"Tickets are now on sale for \u201cAn Evening at Chicago\u2019s 1893 Columbian Exposition,\u201d the third annual History in the Headlines dinner, co-sponsored by the Mount Prospect Historical Society and River Trails Park District.  It will be held at Rob Roy Country Club, 505 E. Camp McDonald Rd., Prospect Heights, on Saturday, April 5.\n\nThose attending will have the opportunity to either dress elegantly and enjoy a gourmet \u201cPavilion\u201d meal, or dress more casually and enjoy a decidedly less opulent Midway buffet.\n\nThe Pavilion meals will be personally prepared by Chef Dave Esau of Dave\u2019s Specialty Foods of Mount Prospect.  This luxurious menu will feature crab bisque soup and turkey croquettes, along with other historically-appropriate dishes.  All recipes will be inspired and prepared in accordance with meals served in the Columbian Exposition\u2019s exclusive dining Pavilions.\n\nIf rubbing elbows with Chicago\u2019s elite isn\u2019t for you, sit at the Midway tables, and enjoy a fun buffet of Vienna Beef hot dogs with all the trimmings (which were actually introduced at the Fair), along with other treats offered there like macaroni and cheese, vegetable soup and sweet pickle cucumber salad, catered by Rob Roy\u2019s 10th Hole Bar and Grill of Prospect Heights.\n\nTickets at the Pavilion Tables, where you might be able to converse with Fair architect \u201cDaniel Burnham\u201d are $75 per person.  Tickets for the more casual and down-to-earth Midway tables, on the other hand, are $25 each.\n\nBut no matter where you choose to sit you will enjoy period music during the cash bar and dinner; Columbian Exposition trivia, photo opportunities and exhibits.  After dinner the Fair\u2019s master builder, \u201cDaniel Burnham\u201d (played by Robert Lindsey) will tell the story of the building of the World\u2019s Columbian Exposition, from the first shovelful of earth to the world\u2019s largest enclosed building.  The festivities will begin at 6 p.m.\n\nTickets are limited and may be reserved individually or in tables of ten.  For more information or to purchase tickets via PayPal, log onto www.mtphist.org.
