Chicago Auto Show photo galleries

February isn't a month that I would call my favorite, but it does feature one of my favorite events - the Chicago Auto Show.  Presented every year for over a hundred years, the show is currently hosted by the Chicago Automobile Trade Association.  They know how to show.

The event varies a bit from year to year, mostly due to the changing of the industry and by what the builders and collectors bring in.  New vehicles are shown by most of the automakers, from large to small.  Missing are the very high end luxury models makers.  You will find the Rolls, Lams, Maseratis, Aston Martins on display, but not a large display by the maker.

The last several years, the move to show off more economical vehicles has been prevalent.  The number of large SUV's and trucks of every size have dwindled, as have the number of concept vehicles.

It's still the place to be during February for me.

Check out the photo's in the Chicago Auto Show photo gallery by Alan Look Photography.  If you don't see enough, go to his archive to see over 300 more.  Just use the search bar embedded in the gallery page and look for 2013 Chicago Auto Show!

As always, there will be coverage in the Normalite and Best Look Magazine.

Redbird Classic - a real winner!

Illinois State University Redbird Women's Volleyball hosted a 4 team volleyball this past weekend.  Participating visiting teams were #7 ranked Marquette Golden Eagles, #7 ranked University or Illinois Fighting Illini and the Knights from the University of Central Florida.  Events kicked off on Friday evening with the Knights and Golden Eagles followed by ISU v the Illini.  Both those matches went 4 sets with Golden Eagles defeating the Knights and ISU upsetting the Illini! On Saturday UCF took on the Illini in a morning match.  The Illini fell once again moving their record in the tournament to 0-2 and setting UCF's record to 1-1.  The evening matchups included a 5:30 match between UCF and Illinois State and the nightcap was Marquette and the Illini.  Both matches went 5 sets, both thrillers with ISU taking the win over UCF and the Illini besting Marquette. Sunday afternoon, the final match between Marquette and Illinois State was nothing short of epic...

The local football season kicked off today with the Illinois State Redbird Red-White scrimmage.  A healthy combination of fans and students attended the event and the preliminary activities which included the annual student promo photo on the field in Hancock Stadium with the Big Red Marching Machine, cheerleaders, flag corp, and Redline Dancers forming ISU all wearing red shirts. High School football will follow in 13 days with the first Friday Lights games. Get out this fall, support your local teams and see some of the great talent that passes through our communities!

12-13-2024 Normal Community West High School Wildcats Basketball defeated by Richwood Knights

  From my chair, the West v Richwoods varsity boys basketball game looked closer than it ended up. West fell short on a 50-36 game. West has what seems to be an unusually young bunch of ballers with just 3 seniors on the team. Two or three of the starters for this game were sophomores and very hard working young men!
