The first annual Northern Grade Chicago is upon us this weekend and Columbus & Co. will be there to cover the event. We have attended the last few events in Minneapolis and made tons of awesome connections, so we jumped at the chance to meet like-minded individuals in one of our favorite cities. The event is tomorrow from 10:00 to 6:30 at Open Secret Studios.

Tons of local vendors are set to be in attendance such as Penelope’s, Haberdash and Independence (all which we visited the last time we were in Chicago) and are bringing their favorite American made inventory. We also look forward to reconnecting with the folks from Locally Grown and MidNorth Mercantile, who we saw last month at the Minneapolis event.

If you are going to be there tweet at us to let us know; we would love to meet some of our readers and talk about all things American over some beers. Otherwise, you can follow our Instagram feed where we will be sure to post shots of the event.
