Growing-up, and then later raising a family in the Lincoln-Way Community High School District of Chicagoland, it was our (and many others) annual ritual to make a trek to the Fall Festival held in Frankfort, IL over Labor Day weekend. It sortof "kicked-off" the school year and was a great place to meet friends and have fun.
This year's Fall Festival is the 43rd Annual hosting of this event. And Frankfort's expecting another great influx of visitors ... over 200,000 of them.
