Item Description
The lucky winners of this fabulous Chicago trip will be treated like royalty! Rockport Music Trustee Rich Tennant, and his wife Cynthia will accompany the winner and guest on this four-day, three-night getaway for two at a private home in Chicago-area Lake Forest, Illinois. This package includes at least one performance at Ravinia Music Festival, seating in a private box, dinner in the exclusive donors' club, The Freehling Room, plus much more! The winners receive two round-trip tickets from Boston to Chicago, car service to and from O'Hare airport, and a three-night stay at a lovely estate in Lake Forest (30 miles north of Chicago) as well as transportation to and from Ravinia Festival. Breakfast will be provided by the estate's personal cook and additional meals can be arranged (You will not want to miss Tia Letty's cooking!) The winners will enjoy the privacy of a guesthouse on the grounds separate from the main house, situated in a quiet neighborhood with almost nine acres of land and multiple gardens. The property includes a boardwalk throughout, a bocce court, a croquet/badminton/volleyball court, an indoor/outdoor year-round pool (weather won¿t hamper the fun), and a separate, fully-equipped workout facility. You might enjoy feeding the koi and turtles occupying the 75,000-gallon natural pond from the viewing platform located in one of the many areas of the grounds dedicated to native habitat. Bring your camera if you are a bird watcher or a garden fanatic. Many other options are available for the curious or adventurous -- or merely those who seek peace and quiet for a few days. The hosts "aim to please..." and they love visitors!
