An Adventure for your family: Being on TVFOX TV Reality Shows To Hold Open Casting Calls in Chicago at the Adventures in Travel ExpoEdited by Madelyn Miller
Adventurous families from throughout Chicagoland will want to visit the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center on Saturday, January 8 and Sunday, January 9, 2005 to meet with the casting directors and see if their family has what it takes to make it to primetime TV. Trading Spouses Trading Spouses offers a fresh take on the classic fish-out-of-water story, where moms and dads try out the ultimate life change: ditching their families to take over a clan from another walk of life. For some, it's a dream vacation; for others, an absolute nightmare. When the families are switched, they live with their host families for one whole week. When the Mom or Dads are finally reunited with their loved ones, they have to tell their families the twist: They decide how the other family will spend their $50,000 prize money. Renovate My Family FOX is making over America one family at a time with Renovate My Family. From fine-tuning each family member's personal appearance, to architectural face-lifts of the home, to revamped cars and even something special for the pets, nothing is left undone on this life-altering makeover series. Hosted by best-selling author Jay McGraw, son of Dr. Phil McGraw, Renovate My Family is not just a home-improvement show – it's a life improvement program that visits families who have encountered some challenge along the way. Whether it is weight issues, physical disabilities or a home that is crumbling, Renovate My Family can overcome any obstacle and get families back on track toward their goals. A panel of makeover professionals – a stylist, interior designer, construction crew, and even experts to re-invent cars and pets – will help restore and redecorate the lives of families in need.
Sponsors for the ATE show include the Chicago Tribune, TIME, National Geographic Adventure, JAX FAX Travel Marketing Magazine and Royal Caribbean Cruise lines. Adventure travel has grown approximately 12% over the past decade. Nearly 8,500 tour operators in the U.S offer adventure trips and over $115 billion is spent annually in this ever-expanding travel category. The show will be co-located at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center with The Luxury Expo, another fast-growing segment of the travel market.
