    I saw an ad for a 3 day Chicago Cubs Convention while watching the Cubs lose yesterday. I thought It would be great if the Rockets did something like this:

    2005 Cubs Convention

    The Cubs will hold their 20th annual Cubs Convention January 21, 22 and 23, 2005.

    The Cubs Convention is a three-day family event that is held each winter at the Hilton Chicago. The Hilton Chicago is located at 720 S. Michigan Avenue.

    At the convention, fans have the opportunity to mingle with current and former Cubs players, broadcasters and front-office executives.

    Activities include autograph and photo sessions, question-and-answer seminars, baseball clinics, hard to find Cubs paraphernalia and much more.

    Past year's events have been attended by many Cubs greats including Sammy Sosa, Kerry Wood, Mark Prior, Corey Patterson, Ernie Banks, Ryne Sandberg, Billy Williams and Lee Smith. 2005 attendees will be confirmed in the fall.

    All proceeds from the Cubs Convention benefit Cubs Care, the charitable beneficiary of the Chicago Cubs. Cubs Care is a fund of the McCormick Tribune Foundation that provides a significant match of all monies donated to Cubs Care.

    The Cubs Convention is our annual kick-off for spring training and Cubs Care's largest fund-raising event.

    To make reservations at the Hilton Chicago, call 1-800-HILTONS. With your room reservation, you will receive discounted convention passes for up to four people per room.

    Non-hotel passes go on sale through the Cubs offices on November 8, 2004. For more information, please call (773) 404-2827.





    Could it be done?
