 That's a Wrap on the April 9, 2011 Historic Chicago Bungalow and Green Home Expo!For the 8th time, Chicago's largest and most popular home retoration, preservation and energy-efficient renovation exposition returned--where visitors can peruse through more than 120 exhibitor booths or attend one or more of the 16 workshops about energy-efficient home improvement solutions, historic preservation and more! Once again, the Expo was held at the Merchandise Mart in downtown Chicago.
Created in 2002 as the Historic Chicago Bungalow Expo and expanded in 2006 to include green home renovation resources, this event is continually evolving to meet the changing needs of bungalow owners. Now, more than ever, it is essential to preserve and enjoy our homes. Our goal is to provide beneficial insight and resource for the stabilization of our homes and in turn, our neighborhoods.
More than 1,500 people attended the 2011 Expo and with the help of our wonderful exhibitors and headliners, the event was a success. We look forward to seeing new faces and old friends in future endeavors.
