Above the Fray

Polo, Anyone?

Since Kate Middleton's wedding to Prince William earlier this year, we've been dying to break out our own party hats a la the Brits. This may just be the right occasion.

And what could be a better occasion than the upcoming Brithish-ish event, Polo on the Beach at North Avenue Beach. Yes a bit of England is making it's way to the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan for a brief stop.  It's an adorable event with imported polo players who are here to show the rest of the world what a good polo player can do.

And naturally there's a bit of fashion that comes with an old-world event such as this. So we're all jazzed to dress up a bit, and go for something besides the usual jeans. Saturday evening, October 1, they're even hosting a best-dressed competition... So put on your best beach polo ensemble and come watch the game. (Hint: players are numbered and N° 3 is always the best player and the one to watch. In case you were interested in looking at more than the outfits of the others in the crowd.)

 October 1 & 2, 2011

Tickets start at $20. For more information visit:
