Kenmore Live Studio a fun foodie diversion

I love fun, swanky events. Better yet, I love fun, swanky events that are free and offer food and drink [even if it’s non-alcoholic].

Kenmore Live Studios has been popping up in conversations for a while now from friends “in the know.” I know, I know, who’s more in the know than your Thriftistas? It boggles the mind…

To showcase their home appliances while simultaneously sharing delicious food from area restaurants and chefs, Kenmore has really upped the ante in terms of cool ideas. There are even area bands providing entertainment outside of chef demos, which kept a huge crowd hanging out before the River North clubs open up.

We Thriftistas happened by the event late this past Saturday night, so we missed out on awesome cupcakes from Roscoe Village’s own Bleeding Heart Cupcakes [and a baking demo by Michelle Garcia], but we enjoyed coffee and seltzer while wandering their exhibits, including the opportunity to color-stain a dress and several multimedia kiosks and appliances.

So, get there early!

There’s much interaction on the Live Studio’s Facebook page [hello great way to connect with your potential customers via social media!] including voting on upcoming events. Upcoming: July 22 “Sweet Designs” with Sugarbliss Cake Boutique and July 31 Sears Chef Challenge.

The Live Studio runs from 7-9pm on Weds.-Sun. at 678 N. Wells [at Huron]. You will need to “sign in” when you enter [on iPads, natch] so remember your freebie email address.
