Join us for the 3rd Annual Barrington Town-Warming – a re-creation of the robust discussions held in Barrington during the Depression era. Our keynote speaker is former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who will have a fireside chat with Motorola President and CEO Greg Brown about his new book, Let Me Finish: Trump, the Kushners, Bannon, New Jersey, and the Power of In-Your-Face Politics (all attendees will receive a complimentary copy). The day also features a panel on Media and Politics in an Election Year (featuring Fox 32 Chicago political editor Mike Flannery; WFLD-TV news anchor Corey McPherrin; Chicago Tribune editorial cartoonist Scott Stantis; and Daily Herald editor John Lampinen), as well as a panel on the arts with Barrington native and novelist Veronica Roth; General Director, President & CEO Anthony Freud of the Lyric Opera; CEO Lynn Osmond of the Chicago Architecture Center; and a representative from the Art Institute Chicago. WGN radio personality John Williams will also interview “Teddy Roosevelt” (humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson). Tickets to this extraordinary event are limited and sell out quickly.
