Free Chicago Water Taxi Service

I just found this on the Chicago Water Taxi website. I don’t have much time to write about it as I am about to head to the Art of Can (via the Chicago Water Taxi) but thought I could post it up here.
The Fannie May Free Chocolate Ferry will provide a complimentary ride and free Fannie May Chocolate samples to passengers on the CWT on weekends from November 17 through December 23. Additional free service will be offered on Friday, November 23, the day after Thanksgiving. Holiday shoppers taking the Metra trains downtown have a delicious new way to get to Michigan Avenue. In addition to the free ride and the complimentary chocolate samples onboard, passengers will receive a coupon for a free cup of Fannie May Hot Chocolate, redeemable at the Fannie May flagship store at Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive.
“Shopping downtown, along Michigan Avenue, during the holidays is a magical experience, but commuting from the suburbs can be stressful. By offering the Fannie May Free Chocolate Ferry, we hope to ease at least one stressor of the Holiday season. Passengers will enjoy views along the Chicago River while nibbling on free chocolate,“ said David Taiclet, CEO of Fannie May Confections, Inc. “ Just like Fannie May Chocolates are part of Chicago holiday traditions, we hope the Fannie May Free Chocolate Ferry can become another local tradition for years to come.“
