14 | www.illinoistimes.com | August 12-18, 2021 Hotels welcome back guests, but struggle for staff One sector that will see strong benefits from the fair’s return is the hotel industry. “The Illinois State Fair generates 15,000 hotel room nights and creates millions of dollars in economic expenditures annually,” said Scott Dahl, director of Visit Springfield. The first weekend of the Illinois State Fair leads to a “citywide sellout” of hotel rooms, said Justin Roesch, director of sales at Comfort Inn & Suites. The Comfort Inn & Suites, 3675 S. Sixth St., has been sold out for Aug. 12-14 for about 2 ½ months, Roesch said. Aug. 11 and 15 are more booked than usual, too. In addition to fair visitors, Roesch said that extended-stay hotels have seen higher capacities due to their in-room kitchens. National Guard members and traveling nurses also filled up many extended-stay rooms during the pandemic. However, Roesch noted that most hotels are currently understaffed in the housekeeping and front desk areas. “It’s just been a bit of a struggle,” he said. To manage the influx of guests coming to the state fair, everyone from management to the rest of the staff has been covering front desk duty. “Everyone’s really stepped up and helped each other out where we need to while we try to get more people hired,” Roesch said. -Meredith Howard

Visitors need food and parking With half-a-million attendees or more in a single year, there’s a large need for parking and food options near the fairgrounds. Bill Tinsley owns Main Gate Bar & Grill, 2143 N. 11th St., so named for its proximity to the main entrance. Despite the many food vendors at the fair, his restaurant will remain open throughout the fair. Tinsley said the 2020 fair’s cancellation cost him about $30,000. However, the end of capacity restrictions has allowed for growth so far this year. Tinsley said that sales have increased about 10% every month since Fulgenzi's Pizza and Pasta. PHOTO BY MEREDITH HOWARD the start of 2021. “It’s exciting, just trying to keep enough people, keep enough product and provide a decent level of service,” Tinsley said. Tinsley will be offering parking for $5 to $7 in seven lots he recently acquired, totaling about 100 parking spots. He said he aims to make at least $1,000 per day from the parking, and he plans to hire a couple of flaggers to assist in managing the lots. Tinsley said that the lots’ projected earnings are as high as they are in part because of the quick turnover. He expects a three-time turnover for each spot each day. “Very few people stay 14 or 16 hours. I’d say the average is three to four hours,” Tinsley said. “Some are shorter, some are longer. But, you pay one price and you can park all day.” Main Gate customers will still have access to parking at no additional cost. Fulgenzi’s Pizza and Pasta, 1168 E. Sangamon Ave., is taking a different approach, offering fair parking in lieu of having the restaurant open. Owner John Fulgenzi and his wife plan to staff their parking lot themselves, and prices may fluctuate each day depending on the fair’s schedule and how many people are looking for parking. Fulgenzi said that the money maker for his business is not necessarily the state fair itself, but the horse shows and other agriculture events leading up to the fair. His restaurant sees a 20%-30% increase in business during special events held at the fairgrounds. Fulgenzi said that last year’s cancellation of the events before the fair “really impacted the business quite a bit. If it weren’t for drive-up windows, we would have been in trouble.” -Meredith Howard
