Success of the 2019 Illinois State Fair

[VIDEO] The Illinois Channel interviews Illinois State Fair Manager Kevin Gordon with regards to the success of this years state fair. I've talked about the success of this years fair on this blog during the course of last month. Also note that the IL Channel's YouTube channel showed other events from this year's fair particularly the more political events that took place at the fairgrounds in Springfield.

As an aside the other state fair in DuQuoin, Illinois also did very well this year according to a post from The Capitol Fax blog.
