Co-chairs, Katie Ford, Elizabeth Nemickas, Sue Slaughter, and Sara Pickus, opened the doors to a few hundred lucky guests for a preview evening at the 2017 Showhouse property presented by the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago, Lake Forest Chapter, after a full decorative transformation beginning in mid-February. Guests were fascinated by the exquisite designs, unique to each room and the outdoor landscapes completed by 34 separate design teams.
