There’s no place like home when my beautiful Vino con Vista Chicago hosts the 21st annual Green Tie Ball at the Finkl Foundry on Southport!
Proceeds beautify the City of Chicago’s public spaces including the expressway.
I entered the Land of Oz and danced to the live music in my Ruby Slippers.

I enjoyed the cuisine in the Land of Oz prepared by more than 50 of
Chicago’s top Chefs.
The “Supreme Lobster Chef Challenge” featured the final round of the Chicago Summer Chef Challenge Series at the Green Tie Ball. Chicago’s Food Trucks offered plenty of goodies to the elegantly dressed guests at Finkl Foundry’s Emerald City on Southport.
The Emerald City’s bartenders were pouring super-premium Wizard of Oz cocktails.
The Green Tie Ball is also offered a silent auction, gaming and multiple stages of live entertainment.
Tickets are available @ www.gatewaygreen.org.
