Deirdre Scott and Dianne Packee joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the upcoming Prairie Chicken Arts Festival. Anticipation is building for the Kewanee Prairie Chicken Arts Festival, returning July 18th and 19th at the Old Go-Kart Track and Berrien Park on West 3rd Street. Highlights include a Kids Luau Party, a "Guns and Hoses" pancake breakfast with local police and firefighters on Saturday morning, and an array of vendor booths. Artistic competitions and free children’s activities add to the excitement. There will be face painting, balloon making, a dunk tank, and a kids' fire hose. Crafters and flea market vendors are encouraged to register by July 10th for an early bird rate of $15, with the fee increasing to $25 after the deadline, which includes both days. Interested participants can contact Brenda at 309-853-9419 for details.
