I have to agree chitcago does suck. I go to the auto show and thats about it.

 

Not the Joliet one but I've been to the new Bolingbrook one. I think they have a cruise night at the Joliet Tilted Kilt right?

 

Anyone heading to RT 66 for Test n Tune tonight?

 

no but I did drive by there today made me sad to think I misse the nhra weekend recently.

 

I missed the last few Nationals. I used to work them back in high school.

It was fun last night...best time was 12.8. Gotta get my 60ft down better or get some sticky tires. Got 7 runs in....I think that's the most I've ever gotten in @ 66.

 

7 runs is dam good. I've never been but I have heard they are alway packed and you only get a few runs in. I really should try and make it up there some time

 

I'm from Tiskilwa, how many of you know where that's at?? Or ever been there?

 

ha good qwestion
The second Saturday in June is Tiskilwa's Strawberry Festival celebrating Tiskilwa's strawberry season with a community celebration. The festival offers fresh berries and strawberry shortcake, children’s activities and entertainment. It coincides with town-wide garage sales. There are rides to a local farm for people to pick their own strawberries.[2]
Tiskilwa celebrates Pow Wow Days every year the first weekend in August. Pow Wow Days is a three day event that includes a community concert or big band dancing, children's "Muttin Bustin Rodeo", a parade, a real Indian Pow Wow, a beer garden, 4H Club and cheerleader sponsored food stands, church-sponsored lunches, historical tours, antique automobiles and tractors and many other events. Pow Wow Days was founded in 1976 as part of the national bicentennial. It may be, though, that the bicentennial was just the spark but not the driving force behind Pow Wow Days. The essence and purpose of Pow Wow Days may well be defined by a prescience of what was to come and a desire to preserve and protect what is good and unique at the core of this small-town community with a history of its own going back nearly 200 years.
Founded in 1834 Tiskilwa emerged as a regional economic and cultural center integrating its own administrative capacities, schools, churches and shops serving a small population of townspeople and farm families from the surrounding 3 to 5 miles. It was a small, but vibrant community whose epicenter consisted of three blocks of Main Street around which located its churches, cafes, taverns, grocery stores, beauty parlors and barbershops and any number of local business enterprises. It might have been a tiny community in comparison to the rest of the world, but it was complete. For nearly 150 years Tiskilwa was a self-reliant community. Its residents would travel out of Tiskilwa as a novelty rather than a necessity.
All this began to change for Tiskilwa in the post World War II era as it did across the rest of America. Travel had evolved from a horse and buggy on a one-lane dirt road to a 4-door sedan on a broad, paved and painted, two-lane highway. By 1976 the time it used to take a farmer to reach downtown Tiskilwa would put him in downtown Peoria. And maybe back home. There occurred in a relatively short period a huge shift in the physical boundaries that framed Tiskilwa’s collective consciousness. Now traveling to those three blocks of Main Street Tiskilwa was no longer a necessity, rather a novelty. The reality of this was dawning in 1976.
The good news is that local residents recognized within their tiny community plenty of reasons to want to visit, experience and even become a part of Tiskilwa. This is what Pow Wow Days is about. Curious outsiders and backroad tourists are encouraged to come to Pow Wow Days and experience the open, warm and heartfelt camaraderie that characterizes a unique, 200-year-old farming community heritage.
