Mark was generous enough to host us for the summer BBQ! Here are some pictures of the festivities:

 

And a latecomer brought the best thing of all, puppies!

Chicago Force BBQ 2017

For those around since the prequels, I used to host an annual BBQ at my house in Streamwood. Now, having moved yet again, I have the space and means to restart this tradition.

I’ll have the usual grilled eats, such as burgers and chicken. I’ll just ask for my guests to post on the Facebook invite, what kind of side or beverage you can bring to share. And, if you do remember the old barbecues….NO CHIPS!! – Mark

When: August 5th, 3 p.m.

Where: Carol Stream, IL

Summer BBQ 2015

On Saturday July 11th, Chicago Force had their Annual BBQ in Skokie. It rained a bit, but that didn’t stop us. We grilled, ate yummy food, goofed around, and devoted a lot of time to watching trailers from San Diego Comic Con. Of course the behind-the-scenes Star Wars video was our favorite. It was a great time.

Annual Summer BBQ

It’s that time of year again, the weather is hot…well, it IS summer, despite the weather. So time to join us at the summer BBQ.

Stormtrooper Picnic

Join us in Skokie at 3 p.m. on July 11th for our annual BBQ! Come one come all and enjoy geeking out with your fellow Star Wars fans. Bring a dish to share. Don’t worry, we have the chips covered.

Chicago Force BBQ 2013

On August 17th, Chicago Force braved the Black Maw and went to Twin Lakes Wisconsin for the Chicago Force BBQ.

We sat and talked movies, had great food from our Grillmaster Mark, went on a boat ride and just had a ton of fun!

Welcome!

Where the Beautiful PeopleĀ© hang out

The Annual Chicago Force Summer BBQ was a great time to hang out, relax, bash politicians, and share in all things Geek. Just don’t walk into the wrong conversation if you want to stay away from movie spoilers!

Yet another excuse to drink beer

You know, I couldn’t go, and I feel bad.

If you didn’t go, you should feel bad, too.
