Ever visit the Illinois State Fair?

I wanted an excuse to talk about the Illinois State Fair and possibly visiting our state capitol in Springfield, Illinois.

Having followed Illinois politics since at least my college years I've always been curious about our political leaders doing state business down there in Springfield. While my interest tends to wax and wane over the years one of the things I would like to do is witness a session of the Illinois General Assembly (both house and Senate).

Another thing worth doing is talking a trip to Springfield to check out the Illinois state fair. Of course while the purpose of the fair is mainly agricultural, it has a very political importance as it's often covered by Rich Miller of the Capitol Fax. Here's a recent article on his blog regarding the spelling issues when the state fair is being promoted.
If you want to follow the official twitter account of the Illinois State Fair here you go.

BTW, it's necessary to show what a south side YouTuber showed when he - artistmac - arrived at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield back in 2016 [VIDEO]

And now it's time to prepare for the 2020 state fair which is an election year and this even is of great political importance. And hopefully I can see something worth sharing on The Sixth Ward's YouTube channel.
