Update on the "Great Race".
I got an email from a woman from the Peoria Convention and Visitors Bureau yesterday, asking us if we'd like to participate in a show 'n shine (they are calling it a "Car Rally") to coincide with the Great Race cars coming through. We'd have protected parking on the lawn next to the Gateway Building.
My thought is that we'd park, sine 'em up, and be able to walk around and look at the old race cars coming through-- they come through every 10 minutes for an hour and a half, starting at 11:30 or so.
It's a weekday, so the food push-carts will be on the courthouse square. The push-carts are some of the best food Peoria's got to offer, and it's a block from where we'll be parked.
I wasn't all that excited about this, but after looking at it, I'm pretty jacked up. I think it'll be a really, really nice way to end the weekend. After everything breaks up at 1 or so, everybody can start back home.
PS: Bob was scoping out the Sunday morning drive, and came up with some really good roads. This entire thing is coming together nicely.
