think they even liked our business presentation... I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed
working with you, Sue and the staff at WCF - it was really fantastic to have so many hands
available to help (with boxes, assembling those chairs, lights on/off, etc.) and just great that
they were mobilized so quickly... You were so responsive throughout the entire process"

Pepsico
“To be able to have fun and get to know the communication styles better of your co-workers is a
tremendous step forward… From my perspective, this is the easiest event that I have ever had
to organize. You made the process very simple and the fact that I could show up and
participate with the team and not worry about details was wonderful. I would highly recommend
your organization to anyone wanting to conduct a teambuilding event. Even though the games
were fun, we were learning the core essence of teamwork without being in a stale classroom
environment. So often when those are the only environments you have, there is a lot lost in
translation!”

"A special thanks to the Windy City Fieldhouse staff. The team was very energetic and
engaging, keeping everyone involved as much as the individuals chose to be so. From the
moment we arrived, smiling faces greeted us at the gate. The emcee was amazing with
participants of all ages. Many attendees enjoyed simply walking over to see what was going on
when they heard the music and directions over the speaker. He nicely tried to bring the
families together for activities, kept the momentum going adding fun and excitement, and was
engaging/motivating. Many asked how he kept going! The food was great and we were lucky

date! Thank you so much for all your hard work. I will highly recommend you to everyone
I know!"

"Last year was the first time we tried an evening picnic, and I have to say it
turned out better than imagined! You're not in the heat of high noon, it's the perfect
time! Our employees loved it so much they insisted we do it again this summer, even though we
usually don't do the same thing 2 years in a row! Once again, it was great! And the
employees at WCF are so enthusiastic and helpful too! An evening picnic is a great
idea! We loved it!"
Thornton Tomasetti
on their Evening Summer Picnic
“Thanks for a great picnic! The company consensus is that it was “awesome”! There
was something for everyone. It was a first class company summer picnic. The company “
heads” enjoyed themselves as there were no decisions to make during the event except which food to
eat and how many times they wanted to do the Velcro wall. We let you guys do all the work and
it allowed all employees to truly relax and have fun. You came thru on all your
promises. Without a doubt, this company picnic was the perfect way to spend a summer day
downtown with co-workers and family.”
Infinium Capital Management

well. The event was extremely easy to plan and gave our employees a chance to become a closer
team outside of the work environment.”

We are so grateful for your careful planning and perfect execution of our corporate barbecue. From the moment I stepped onto the grounds, I witnessed WCF staff busy at work. You seemed to know exactly what needed to be done. You made certain our needs were met, and you were right there to offer assistance with whatever task was at hand. You are PROS at what you do, and we take our hats off to you! You truly took care of us and our families. The children were engaged every second.

Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers
"I wanted to let you know that my group had so much fun on the Taste of Windy City Scavenger
Hunt. They said it was the best team building event they had ever been on. Your people
are great and made it such a memorable event. Everyone said they wished I had booked you for
a longer period of time. You can imagine their surprise when I told them that you custom
designed our event for the 4 hour period since your program usually runs 2-3 hours. The
champagne toast on the Hancock Observatory and the Hot Dog topping sites were among the teams'
favorite spots. Most of our people have not spent a significant amount of time in Chicago so
they thoughtthis venue provided an exceptionally fun way to get to see the city. We also
enjoyed a very dramatic, edge of the seat ending since our teams are so highly competitive.
Laughs and a good time were had by all. It was a pleasure working with the wonderful
people at Windy City Fieldhouse. Thanks once again for your thoughtfulness and for making our
event a memory our people will hold dear for years to come."

such a successful event. I had many skeptical participants in the beginning and at the end of
the day everyone just could not say enough about the great day they had. Everyone really got
to know each other and really had to work together to achieve their goals. This was a great
accomplishment for us since many of these people do not work together on a day-to-day basis.
You guys really came through for us and we really appreciate it.”

"Everyone who participated really enjoyed themselves and seemed to feel that it was a perfect bonding experience. I know personally I would not have made as many close ties with the people in my group as I did because of the scavenger hunt.

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the entire experience. Thank you so much for helping me to pull off a great evening event."
