Schaumburg: iHobby Expo

As real autumn weather slowly arrives in Chicagoland, it's time to think of indoor weekend activities for the family. Keep your eyes open for (or your search engines pointed to) hobby shows around the area. For example, this weekend's iHobby Expo in Schaumburg features a free ride-on Thomas train and model train layouts in addition to plenty of other activities, such as model building and racing. Kids under 10 even get in free. (Adult admission is $12. Seniors pay $10 on Sunday only.) The show happens from 10 a.m. till 5 pm. today (Oct. 6, 2013) and tomorrow at the Schaumburg Convention Center.
