Hillsboro Old Settlers

Every small town has their summer celebration.  In Hillsboro it is called Old Settlers Days.  This picture was taken before the crowd arrived this evening.  It is a chance to visit with old friends and support some great agricultural organizations.  Yes we have everything fried that any state fair has.  We also have great ribeyes served by the Central Illinois Livestock Producers, and the Hillsboro FFA serves pork patties.  My younger son calls it the "most wonderful time of the year."The most amazing thing is that closing is at 11 PM tomorrow and by 6AM Friday, you would not know that the streets were blocked off and covered with litter.
