What: Samantha Martin and her entourage of trained domestic Circus Cats have been packing in the crowds as they set out to disprove the notion that "Cats Can't Be Trained," by performing a variety of tricks.

Amazing Animals by Samantha is owned and operated by Samantha Martin, a Chicago-based animal trainer, who has traveled worldwide with her animals. Her animals have appeared on Leno, Letterman, and in many movies and television shows.

28th Annual Taste of Chicago
Location: Grant Park

The Taste of Chicago that evolved from that steamy July 4th in 1980 is the second largest tourist attraction in Illinois. For ten days, this free- admission festival, now in its 27th year, is the place to be, infusing the city with a holiday spirit and attracting lead stories each day in newspapers and on television.

It is an impressive scene. Colorfully decorated tents surround the outside kitchens of more than 70 restaurants from all over Chicagoland, which also includes a daily upscale restaurant serving in the Gourmet Pavilion. Exotic aromas permeate the air and no visitor leaves a food booth empty handed.

Last year’s Taste attracted more than 3.5 million visitors from all over the city, the suburbs, the midwest and the country.
