Rantoul Half Century of Progress Farm Show — Attraction in Rantoul

Never again. While the show was excellent and was excellent getting there was a problem. Look at there maps no indication of parking. Going in 4 lane highway left lane turning right lane goes on signs were on the right shoulder not visible if traffic was going by should have been in the middle on the median. Stoplight cops in a bunch not helping or directing traffic. Then approached cones divided road at most shows this separated vehicles with trailer from non trailer again cops in a bunch but one took the time to yell at a guy and complained but again no direction. Turning in girl standing with blank look flag waving all over not pointing or directing then guy runs over started yelling i was holding up traffic all the while blocking my vehicle definitely on a power trip. If I hadn't drove so far I would have left. They need to train people in directing traffic get cops to do...

This was a fantastic experience. We had never been there before. You cannot fathom the size of this Show.

This is an event worth seeing and one worth returning to. And, the American Flag flies above the...

There's no way we would have seen everything we did if we didn't. There's just too much ground to cover in that amount of time. On top of that, with as much traffic as there is, you're almost safer driving something than you are walking. This was the first working farm show that I've ever been to and it was really neat to see everyone using their equipment and all of the stuff in general. I'll post some pictures on here, but follow me on TikTok (lena_kuhn) or Instagram (josh.and.lena.travel) to see more pictures and videos that I can't upload on here for...
