By James Middleton For decades the Grange Organizations of Boone County have managed and staged the largest entertainment and educational event in the county and region, the Boone County Fair. Every year the Grange Organizations have also invested thousands of dollars and, over the years, millions of dollars into expanding, improving and modernizing the Boone County Fairgrounds and buildings. Today, the Boone County Fairgrounds are a state of the art venue in terms of the modernization and the conveniences that have been erected. The Grange Organizations of Boone County have made these improvements every year with an eye to providing the best venue for people of all ages to enjoy the Fair. In 2016, the improvements continued to be executed and Fairgoers will appreciate what has been done. A major investment was made to improve the lighting at the fairgrounds with the installation of new lighting pedestals and lights along the main midway. This route moves from the main gate entrance east to the grandstand area. Those who were involved in the planning and the execution of the improvements indicated that the cost for this improvement was substantial. In addition to the installation of the new pedestals, water lines and underground electrical lines were replaced. Along with that the organization also installed three new transformers and expanded the total electrical service on the fairgrounds. Overall, with these improvements to the lighting and the electrical service, the chance for power outages has been reduced. The Fair organization was also busy in 2016 improving the walkways and the driveways within the fairgrounds. Many local people might remember the condition of the Boone County Fairgrounds a dozen or more years ago after heavy rain shower dampened the fairgrounds. The result of those rainstorms was for walkways and driveways to become pocked with mud-puddles. Much of that concern, over the last few years, has been eliminated. This year fairgoers will note that the roadway at the Main Gate has been resurfaced and improved. Also, the walkways leading fr0m the Main Gate entrance to Gate #2 has also been resurfaced and improved. These improvements will make a big difference for those who come to the Fair needing a wheelchair or a motorized chair. The improved surfaces will also make it easier for those who operate the electric golf carts to move people from the parking lot to all areas of the fairgrounds. The improved pathways will also make it easier for all fairgoers to move around the grounds come rain or come shine. Of the buildings at the fairgrounds, many of them have been improved this year, too. New paint, in other instances new sheetrock and still other improvements have been made to make the fairgrounds easier to move within. Fairgoers will also note that improvements were made this year to the fairground restrooms. Finally, the Boone County Grange Organizations also painted the exterior of the antique school house that has been on the grounds for many years. The antique school house remains one of the top attractions that has been for many years a permanent exhibit. Those who visit the building get a sense of what it was like for students many decades ago to get their education. The old school house is a testament to the community and the Boone County Grange Organizations that have kept up and beautified that building for these many years. Many fairgoers might not recognize the many improvements to the fairgrounds. All of the improvements were managed to improve the efficiency of the area for those who come to the Fair and to also avoid problems from developing. The 2016 edition of the Boone County Fair continues to be a top county fair in the nation and the event opens on Tuesday, August 9 and continues through Sunday, August 14. The fun the excitement and the entertainment of the Fair is contagious and everyone should come for the fun of it.

In response to this, several student groups have been formed in the University's history in an attempt to increase student awareness, support, and attendance at events. Unfortunately, these attempts have failed in the past. This project provided a solid foundation for the new student fan organization, "Red Riot." The marketing strategies used were based upon research into the success and failure of other fan organizations, athletic traditions, and sport marketing theories while considering the differences NIU faces versus the majority of athletic organizations, specifically the location outside a major metropolitan area and its "suitcase campus" student body. Because ofthese traits, the majority ofNIU students need additional motivation to bring them to an athletic event. While NIU has a few fans who attend as "supporters" and "appreciators," the majority of attendees are "socialites." Thus, to appeal to these students, high levels of interaction, in-game promotions, and an environment that promotes a fun, social atmosphere is necessary.

  • Chapter Twenty-Five “This Damned Old House” the Lincoln Family In
    Chapter Twenty-five “This Damned Old House” The Lincoln Family in the Executive Mansion During the Civil War, the atmosphere in the White House was usually sober, for as John Hay recalled, it “was an epoch, if not of gloom, at least of a seriousness too intense to leave room for much mirth.”1 The death of Lincoln’s favorite son and the misbehavior of the First Lady significantly intensified that mood. THE WHITE HOUSE The White House failed to impress Lincoln’s other secretaries, who disparaged its “threadbare appearance” and referred to it as “a dirty rickety concern.”2 A British journalist thought it beautiful in the moonlight, “when its snowy walls stand out in contrast to the night, deep blue skies, but not otherwise.”3 The Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler asserted that the “shockingly careless appearance of the White House proved that whatever may have been Mrs. Lincoln’s other good qualities, she hadn’t earned the compliment which the Yankee farmer paid to his wife when he said: ‘Ef my wife haint got an ear fer music, she’s got an eye for dirt.’”4 The north side of the Executive 1 John Hay, “Life in the White House in the Time of Lincoln,” in Michael Burlingame, ed., At Lincoln’s Side: John Hay’s Civil War Correspondence and Selected Writings (Carbondale: Southern Illinois University Press, 2000), 134. 2 William O.

  • Social Conditions in an American City; A
    — Shall the Capital City Lead? For a hundred years state pride has expressed itself in big round domes and fluted pillars. Springfield and the Springfield survey raise a new question Why not put the imagination and resources of the commonwealth into making the capital city of each state its standard municipality in health, housing, edu- cation, charity, corrections, recreation, industrial relations, and governmental efficiency? The meetings of the legislature, the annual state fairs, encamp- ments of the militia, civil, trade, and professional conventions, and numerous visitors to the capital city are so many opportunities for extending such leader- ship.
