| Each Friday evening during the summer season for years, Kickapoo Landing has been the venue for bluegrass music. In October, the season would end with a bluegrass jam session. In 2008, the event was bittersweet as there was a probability that this would be the last such session. The State of Illinois is in financial trouble, so the governor proposed closing eleven of the state's state parks including Kickapoo State Park. I learned of this event as I was en route from New Jersey to Kansas and decided to stop in for a visit. These videos and photos will serve as a memory of that event. |
