We plan on meeting at the train station in Elburn to catch the 9:25 am train to Chicago. I recommend that you arrive at least 15 to 20 minutes early, as you do not want to get a late start, get delayed by trains/traffic, or get lost finding the train station.
Fees involved will be parking at the station, a day pass toMileshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04811172289744996882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762279400351972622.post-78589725193545412862011-10-11T15:36:00.000-05:002011-10-11T15:36:29.524-05:00Student Art for the Art Department WebsiteHi Students!We are working on updating the KC Art website and we are looking for images of student work to highlight our courses.
