On Saturday, October 18, 2003, Washington Mutual presents
Teacherpalooza, a free outdoor barbeque and music festival at Grant
Park celebrating the talent and commitment of Chicagoland teachers.
Over 50,000 teachers are invited. Students and families are welcome
too. In fact, all of Chicagoland is invited. We hope to make this the
world's biggest barbeque, serving food from around the world. Your
fellow teachers will be performing on three stages and the day's
festivities will culminate in a concert featuring TIM McGRAW & THE
DANCEHALL DOCTORS,MICHELLE BRANCH, Los Hombres Calientes featuring
Bill Summers & Irvin Mayfield, and American Idol finalist, Trenyce!
It's a free day of great barbeque, great music, the chance to win
major grants for Chicagoland schools and an opportunity to honor our
terrific teachers.
