A Night in Old Chicago

Showcase your business to a group of 600 influential guests from the business and professional communities of LaPorte, Lake, Porter, St. Joseph Counties, SW Michigan and beyond at the premier social event of the area on November 9. This year’s Night in Old Chicago promises to be even better than last year’s spectacular Night in Old Las Vegas event.

Held at the outstanding Blue Chip Casino, Hotel & Spa venue, A Night in Old Chicago will feature fabulous restaurant and dessert establishments, cocktails at four separate bar locations and unbelievable live entertainment. The Blues Brothers and Me & The Boys will be performing; 1920’s gangster and flapper impersonators will be mingling with the crowd along with authentic “speakeasy” displays to liven the evening’s events.

Additionally, hundreds of premier silent auction items will be available to bid on. Don’t miss this opportunity to put a spotlight on your business and show your support for the United Way of LaPorte County and the 32 programs we help support.
