A little background from our sister org across the waters-

Guy Fawkes: The man behind the ride...

• Guy Fawkes was among a group of disaffected Catholics who, in 1605, plotted to blow up the House of Lords in a bid to kill King James I
• Although born into a Protestant family, Fawkes later converted and by 21 was in Europe fighting for Catholic Spain in the Eighty Years War
• In 1603, petitioned Spain's King Philip III to support a rebellion against the "heretic" English king - but was turned down
• Fawkes was later approached to join the Gunpowder Plot - his role was to source and ignite the barrels
• The plot was foiled when Fawkes was arrested under the Lords on 4 November 1605. He was tortured for two days and later executed

I'm having a maternity tweed wear crisis. Would you still begrudgingly accept me if I'm unable to find anything by Saturday?

One week left to prepare!

 

* Check clothing for moth damage

* Reattach loose buttons

* Shine shoes

* Rinse out flask or thermos

* Find a piece of wood for the fire  

A blustery day will be provided at no extra charge.  Bring your rosy cheeks.

~No other ride in Chicago includes an effigy~
