I was in Chicago over the weekend to visit family and attend the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, Ill. The festival’s website says Ravinia (named for the Ravinia Park grounds where it is held) is the oldest outdoor music festival in North America<\/a>. Who knew?!<\/p>\n

Ravinia isn’t a stand-all-day-to-see-Eminem, Lollapalooza-like event<\/a>. It’s very civilized. You can sit in the 3,200-person Pavilion open-air theater<\/a> or picnic on the lawn. If you do the latter, you can’t see the stage, but the music still sounds superb. We tried for Pavilion seats but ended up on the lawn, because we were there to see Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett and the Pavilion tickets sold out instantly. The duo caused quite the frenzy over at old Ravinia.<\/p>\n

My sister, Terri Berry<\/a>, organized a party of 15 and was first in line to get our lawn spot on Friday. With the help of her friend Mitch, a Ravinia veteran, we staked out a spot under a tree with two tarps.<\/p>\n
