Speaking of festivals, if your a bungalow owner or enthusiast, you might enjoy the upcoming Arts and Crafts Festival in River Forest. No, not popsicle stick ornaments arts and crafts, but the American Arts And Crafts movement from 1890 - 1920 (wikipedia link). And it's happened the second weekend in May, and if you can't wait for then for your bungalow fix, the Historical Chicago Bungalow Association has a lecture this week and next on restoring your bungalow, as well as bus tours for a "best of" tour, too.
