Chicago 2016, the group supporting Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympics, has joined Taste of Chicago, and weightlifting is on the menu.

"The Taste of Chicago is the largest food festival in the world, with roughly 6 million visitors from across the city, suburbs, country and world. Held in Chicago's Grant Park, the city's 'front yard,' the festival is in the heart of the city, right along the lakefront." Chicago 2016 has joined the party, and Mike Gattone has just announced that a weightlifting exhibition is included in the festivities.

The weightlifting exhibition is scheduled for Saturday, July 5, and for more details, please check Taste of Chicago's website.
