Chicago, IL (PRWEB) January 26, 2005
ARCA RE/MAX Series driver Billy Venturini was in Chicago this weekend for the 20th Annual Chicago Cubs Convention. The event which took place January 21st ÂÂ January 23rd at the Hilton Chicago marked the 17th consecutive Cubs Convention sellout.
Over 15,000 fans braved the weekend blizzard in Chicago to attend the three-day weekend event. Fans of all ages enjoyed autograph sessions with their favorite Cub players, participated in baseball clinics, seminars, press conferences, and choose from the finest baseball memorabilia, retail products and apparel.
Venturini was on hand to sign autographs while promoting his Special Edition Chicago Cubs die cast. In addition Venturini MotorsportÂÂs held the ÂÂExtreme Cubs Fan Give-A-WayÂÂ promotion. This show stopping promotion featured a one-of-a-kind Chicago Cubs themed racing helmet.
The incredibly detailed helmet captured the true essence of the Chicago Cubs and was arguably the most desired piece of Cubs memorabilia on display. The prized helmet was designed by Mark Kerptula of PitPaint.com specifically for the weekendÂÂs event.
Venturini Motorsports would like to recognize Grizelda Salazar and the entire Chicago Cubs organization for all the support throughout the weekendÂÂs festivities.
Congratulations to all the winners of our ÂÂExtreme Cubs Fan Give-A-WayÂÂ promotion!
