Normal, IL, USA / www.cities929.com May 14, 2021 | 12:35 PM (The Center Square) – If things continue how they have been going with reopening the state, Illinois will get to have its state fairs this year. After last year when both the Springfield and Du Quoin state fairs were canceled due to COVID-19, the businesses of Du Quoin are eager to see the fair populate the town’s fairgrounds again. Du Quoin Mayor Guy Alongi said it’s a good opportunity to showcase the town and bring in tourism revenue. “For the state fair itself and all the non-fair events, probably you’re looking at probably 75,000 to 100,000 people coming through Du Quoin every year,” he said.
