Best Game in Town: Governor’s Day at the Illinois State Fair by WBEZ’s Afternoon ShiftThe Illinois State Fair hosts “Governor’s Day” today at the fairgrounds in Springfield, Illinois. Governor’s Day is the traditional rally and picnic for the Illinois democratic party. Tomorrow is Republican Day. The big story is how Governor Quinn has changed the format of today’s festivities.

Quinn heads to Illinois State Fair to rally his base by WBEZ’s Morning ShiftThe Illinois State Fair brings out politicians, special interest groups and voters looking to get some answers from candidates.
