The Illinois Liquor Control Commission (ILCC) is excited to attend the Illinois State Fair this year with a table in the Lieutenant Governor’s tent.

“The Illinois State Fair is a staple of Illinois’ summer festivities, and a showcase of the best Illinois has to offer,” said Illinois Liquor Control Commission Executive Director Lisa Gardner. “The ILCC looks forward to engaging with fairgoers celebrating our state’s agriculture and culture by providing educational resources on alcohol safety and awareness.”

Educational materials and giveaways will be available every day at the ILCC table. A schedule of activities and events is below:

Experience firsthand the dangers of driving while impaired by wearing impairment goggles and navigating a pedal kart through an enclosed track.

Submit a slogan or catchphrase to replace “We Card Hard”; the winner(s) will receive a super prize, and the winning phrase(s) will be used in a statewide underage drinking campaign.

Spin and win! Large and small prizes of all kinds.
