Things to Do

For friends coming from out of state we have a few recommendations! If you are flying into O'hare on Friday we recommend giving yourself the evening to explore Elliott's home city, Chicago!


If you are wanting something to do closer to the venue we also recommend exploring Tara's hometown, Rockford, just a 20 minute drive from Rochelle.
