THE 2ND ANNUAL ILLINOIS RT. 66 RED CARPET CORRIDOR FESTIVAL MAY 3 – 4, 2008 It is all about family fun on the most famous road in America, Route 66. Also known as the "Mother Road", we invite everyone to experience life in the slow lane. Twelve communities have linked together a festival containing 90 miles of excitement! Each community will produce its own event. From full blown festivals to antique, yard, craft, garage and sidewalk sales along with everything in between, there is bound to be a favorite town for you to discover. Food, snacks and treats will be in abundance along with all kinds of live entertainment. Historic sites, outstanding free museums and unique mom & pop businesses help create a nostalgic journey for all to enjoy. Experience a wagon ride, hang out with the Blues Brothers or get your picture taken in a 1906 two cell jail, and so much more are waiting for you. The Red Carpet Corridor consists of all the communities on historic Route 66 between downtown Joliet and south to Towanda. Join in the fun at any point that is convenient for you. The hours both days are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For information, phone 815- 844-5847 or 800-835-2055 |
