80's cover band 16 Candles to play at GGP Block Party!

The Glencoe Educational Foundation is pleased to once again announce the return of the Glencoe Grand Prix presented by AT&T. This year marks the 6th anniversary of this fundraiser for the GEF that is now a fixture on the U.S. Domestic racing scene and part of USA Cycling's inaugural National Criterium Calendar. The series includes the top races around the United States and we are stop 10 of 19 events. The GGP will once again host the Illinois State Criterium Championships.

Like last year. the event will include a full day of amateur racing, finishing with the BTIG Women's Pro race at 4:30 and the AT&T Men's Pro race beginning at 5:30 P.M. The traditional kids races (ages 4 - 9) will be held at noon and directly after, stick around to watch the Chicago Sky's McDonald's Fly Kids tumble right down Vernon Avenue! Come visit vibrant downtown Glencoe, pop your head into the shops and say hello and grab lunch and a beer while your kids play in the kids area, dance to music with live DJs and dancers or throw some balls at the dunk tank. And after the racing be sure to stick for the main attraction Chicago's own 16 Candles! Voted Chicago's best cover band in 2011, 16 Candles will perform all the greatest hits of the 80's the greatest decade!

There will be plenty of activities for the whole family throughout the day. For more information, check out the race website at www.glencoegrandprix.com.
