Chicago and Gary celebrate Michael’s birthday

During the last weekend of August 24 to 26, a festival called MJFanvention 2012 will be held in Chicago and Gary. Along with dancing, music, and singing, the celebrations also include educational programs. The organizers of the festival plan to share with attendees what made Michael Jackson—Michael Jackson. The MJFanvention group is behind the event, and Gary’s mayor is pleased that they have included the city in their celebration, saying: "Michael Jackson fans are everywhere. But everything started right here, starting in Gary." Joe Vogel, author of three books about Michael Jackson, will be one of the guests at the event. Source: eMJey.com / mjfanvention
