Vintage Illinois wine festival was a great success. 1000s of people from around the state came to taste Illinois vintners' offerings at beautiful Matthiessen State Park. Next year the festival will be held on September 18 & 19.

Saw a bunch of fun, blingy t-shirts over the course of the 2-day event. Can't wait till next year's festival!

Vintage Illinois is coming up this weekend at Matthiessen State Park, just south of Starved Rock Lodge on Route 178. get your tickets early at www.vintageillinois.com.

During the week, hiking is just the ticket.

Beautiful day for a wedding at Starved Rock's Canyonside Cabin & Courtyard...Looking forward to the rainbows.
