What’s in a Name? ART CENTER HIGHLAND PARK FEST CLAIMS ITS IDENTITY. EDITED BY SHERRY THOMAS THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND
When an organization opens a press release with a statement about what an event “is not,” you know there’s an identity problem. Often confused with the Highland Park’s Port Clinton Art Festival, leaders at The Art Center Highland Park (TACHP) want everyone to know that its Festival of Fine Arts is an entirely different event. “After all this time, people still think we’re a subset of Amdur Productions’ Port Clinton Art Festival,” says TACHP’s Director of Events Jackie Chilow. “In fact, when I brought in our receipts to our own bank the Monday after last year’s event, the bank teller said she’d missed our weekend event but would definitely go to the next one [Port Clinton]. This just emphasized that people don’t know that this is The Art Center Highland Park’s event and an important one for our success.” Chilow says that while the Port Clinton Art Festival is a great event, it’s important for the public to know that TACHP’s 21st annual festival—which runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 22 and June 23—is not connected in any way.

DA BEARS A LAKE FOREST AUTHOR PENS NEW BOOK DOCUMENTING A CENTURY OF CHICAGO BEARS HISTORY. BY DAVID A.F. SWEET THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND
While tackling the century-long history of the Chicago Bears is a staggering task, it would be hard to find someone better equipped for the job than Lake Forest resident Don Pierson. After all, he still has his 1957 copy of Sport magazine—with Chicago Bears’ fullback Rick Casares pictured on the cover by the headline “New Monsters of the Midway”—that he received as a boy growing up in Ohio. The Chicago Tribune assigned him to cover the team starting in 1968, meaning he endured the lows of the Jim Dooley-Abe Gibron era and wrote about one of the most famous teams in the history of sports, the 1985 Bears. Along with The Athletic’s Dan Pompei, Pierson has co-authored the Chicago Bears Centennial Scrapbook. Covering ownership, players, rivalries, championships and more, the coffee-table book selling for $55 commemorates the team’s 100th season in 2019. He and Pompei will appear at the History Center of Lake Forest-Lake Bluff on Thursday, June 13 at 7 p.m. to talk about their 320-page work. That same evening, the History Center will open an exhibit on the Bears that will emphasize their long ties to Lake Forest, which began in the mid-1970s and continue today in their facility near the I-94 tollway.
