Marshall-Putnam Fair Association makes tough decision to cancel 2020 fair HENRY — With heavy hearts, the Marshall-Putnam Fair Association announced on June 2 the cancellation of the 2020 Marshall-Putnam Fair. The board met several times searching for a way to hold the 2020 fair, including statewide webinars with multiple county fairs. The board members also contacted many neighboring fairs, including Knox County, Heart of Illinois Fair and Fulton County Fair, who also have now all canceled. Unfortunately, after looking at all the factors that go into bringing together an event of this size, the board felt that it was in the best interest of the communities and the fair as a whole to cancel the fair. Some of the contributing factors that needed to be considered were the liability of not adhering to the government’s guidelines, the health and safety of board members, vol-

unteers and attendees, the financial support received from the Illinois Department of Agriculture, the sustainability of the fairground’s campground license, the ability to obtain a state and county liquor license and the overall financial burden. Several of the event chairmen informed the association they would not be holding their non-grandstand events at the 2020 fair due to the concern of health, safety and the ability to provide enough man power to meet the necessary sanitation requirements. The fair association takes pride in providing a quality county fair and did not want to jeopardize its tradition of excellence. The financial success of the Marshall- Putnam Fair relies partially on the support of local businesses. Due to the hardships that many of these businesses were

OGLESBY

OGLESBY — Illinois Valley Community College’s 6,000-square-foot storage and routine maintenance building is on schedule for completion by the end of the month, board members learned on June 11. In his monthly report, IVCC President Jerry Corcoran said a grand opening for the facility is underway. “That event will be an opportunity to showcase the facility and thank our many generous donors who helped make Phase I of our ag complex a reality, especially donor

Barbara Davis of Batavia, state Rep. Lance Yednock (D-Ottawa) and state Sen. Sue Rezin (R-Morris),” he said. There’s also considerable activity on the farmland surrounding the new building. Last week, ag program co-coordinators Willard Mott and Kathryn Lillie planted 86 acres of soybeans with equipment provided by the Case IH Innovation team of Burr Ridge and its local partners at Stoller International in Ottawa. “Last weekend was a big week

for the ag program,” Corcoran said. “We’re lucky to be able to work with our farm tenant, Luke Holly, on these field activities, as well as our friends from the Illinois Extension on research opportunities using Case IH prototype equipment.” Following closed session, the board approved an information technology backup solution from Rehmann (RTS) for equipment, licensing, project management and three years support and maintenance. “Our fiscal 2021 budget had includ-

ed off-site data backups,” Corcoran noted. “Unfortunately, the need for it became more urgent.” The $165,111 project cost will be borne by a fund designated for IT, not the education fund. Corcoran said all major IT functions have been restored and improvements scheduled for next year have already been completed such as moving staff email to Office 365, installation of Windows 10 on

This year’s Marshall-Putnam Relay For Life event will look a little different

Virtual silent auction will be held in July Relay For Life of Marshall and Putnam Counties is looking a little different this year, but the goal and the need remains the same. Due to COVID-19, the local Relay, originally planned for April 24, has been postponed, but Relayers are still working hard to raise money to help put an end to cancer. Despite the pandemic, M-P Relay For Life has raised more than $30,000 toward their goal of $80,000. The group still wants to honor those who have won the fight against cancer, those who lost their fight, and those who are currently fighting. To do that, M-P Relay For Life is planning a virtual silent auction to be held in July. Stay tuned for more information on this event and how you will be able to participate. Virtual luminarias will also be available for purchase by visiting the M-P Relay For Life web page. The fight against cancer is facing challenges during the pandemic. According the American Cancer Society, during this time cancer can speed up with commu-

nities shut down, already vulnerable cancer patients can feel even more alone and with health care facilities and workers stretched to their limits, cancer will take more lives. Even if we cannot come together in person, we must come together as a Relay community to help save the fight against cancer. Every year donations help the American Cancer Society offer cancer screenings, 24/7 navigation and support, along with conducting research for treatment and cures. Cancer hasn’t stopped during this pandemic, but neither will ACS and Relayers around the country. The American Cancer Society has stepped up to help during the COVID-19 pandemic by keeping the National Cancer Information Center staffed 24/7 so families can talk with and get answers from a live person no matter where they are or what time it is. They are also updating Cancer.org and other social media channels with the latest information for cancer patients direct from ACS public health experts. Hope Lodge facilities have been made available for health care workers on the front lines of this crisis at no cost. These are just a few of the ways ACS has stepped up during this time.

The American Cancer Society’s mission is critical to families facing cancer and their mission to save lives is at risk. You can help by making a personal donation to the event to help keep the mission alive or by purchasing a luminaria to honor a loved one. Donations can be made to this local Relay For Life event by visiting RelayForLife.org. Community members can also start or join a team by following the links to their local Relay event. For the latest information about M-P Relay be sure to like our Facebook page.

PRINCETON — If this were a normal year, Princeton would be eagerly anticipating the arrival of Festival 56’s creative staff and ensemble to the Grace Theater and the construction of a stage in Soldiers and Sailors Park. But, as everyone knows, 2020 has been anything but normal. After long discussion over several possible scenarios, Producing Artistic Director Tommy Iafrate and the Festival 56 Board of Directors have decided that postponing the 2020 summer season to summer 2021 is the most responsi-

ble option for the health and safety of the Festival’s patrons, performers, staff and volunteers, as well as the wider community, in hopes that by next summer, public health concerns will once again support the type of live, professional theater provided by Festival 56. For 17 years, Festival 56 has been part of the amazing mosaic that makes up Princeton’s vibrant community. With the continued support of its patrons and sponsors, Festival 56 will continue to be part of the scene for years to come.

PRINCETON

Today marks 100 years for Perry Memorial Hospital BY GOLDIE RAPP grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — Today, June 17, 2020, officially marks 100 years since the doors to Perry Memorial Hospital opened to serve patients. The history of Perry’s past century is rich — one that’s fill with both good years and bad. The hallways at Perry are now lined with posters that tell about health care in Princeton before Perry existed and how the city came about having its own public hospital. Old photos, newspaper clippings and antique hospital records adorn the history. The man behind all the work is Dane Stier, Perry’s digital marketing specialist. He’s spent more than 100 hours over these past few months digging through a century-worth of archives about the hospital. He’s organized bins of newspaper clippings and historical documents, he’s looked through scrapbooks dating more than 70 years old, he’s made a few trips to the Bureau County Historical Society and even tracked down and interviewed relatives of Perry’s prominent names from the past. Stier said he’s got an interest in history, but it was the detective work of tracking down bits of information or good quality photos that really excited him along this journey. “It’s all fallen into place, and it’s been fun,” he said. The work, while daunting at times, is important to Stier. “I don’t think anybody else knows this stuff. I wanted to do as thorough job as possible so that no one has to spend this much time going through it again,” he laughed. Once the hospital is able to reopen to the community following the COVID-19 situation, Stier said people will be encouraged to go in and take a look at the history so that they can reflect on all the ups and downs faced over the years. “It’s important for people to know that the majority of Perry’s history has been very challenging,” Stier said. “Most people’s memory of the hospital starts in the 70s, 80s or 90s when it wasn’t a challenging time, but before the 70s, times at Perry were difficult.” It seemed like just when Perry solved one issue at hand, another would rise up, and the hospital constantly played catch-up to maintain the best service it could for patients. Perry’s history has overcome many hurdles, but today it’s up

The Julia Rackley Perry Memorial Hospital opened on June 17, 1920. It contained the latest equipment in the operating room and X-ray department. against a hurdle that has forced many small hospitals throughout the country to close its doors. Advancements in technology, expensive regulations and financial complexity are hurting small hospi-

tal everywhere. “There’s no way to keep up with it all as a small hospital,” Stier said. “It’s always been a struggle to maintain. You have to wonder when are you going to reach that level of when

you can’t get over the next hurdle?” Perry’s board of directors are in current discussions with OSF Health Care with a goal to keep a community hospital in Princeton for another 100 years.

Putnam County Sheriff ’s Office will increase enforcement around Fourth of July holiday HENNEPIN — The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office will step-up its traffic enforcement around the Fourth of July holiday and focus on impaired and unbuckled drivers. The safety campaign started June 15 and will run through the early-morning hours of July 6 to encompass three summer weekends leading up to and after Independence Day. “We’re asking all of our residents and visitors to celebrate Independence Day safely,” said Putnam County Sheriff Kevin Doyle. “It’s simple: If you’re driving, don’t drink, use marijuana or other drugs. Our deputies will be working around the clock to keep impaired drivers off the road and enforce all other traffic laws.” The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office will join the Illinois State Police and more than 200 local police and sheriff’s departments for the increased statewide enforcement effort. Use these tips to help ensure a happy and safe holiday:

Get your air conditioner checked & cleaned or replace that old unit with a new high efﬁciency Goodman unit.

• Designate a sober driver and give them the keys before going out. • Don’t let friends or family members drive under the influence. • If drunk or impaired by marijuana or other drugs, call a taxi, use a ride-sharing service or call a sober friend or family member. • Promptly report drunk drivers to law enforcement by pulling over and dialing 911. • Make sure everyone in the vehicle wears a seat belt. It’s not only the law, but also the best defense against an impaired driver. The “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” programs are made possible by federal traffic safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation. The enforcement period runs concurrently with a media campaign reminding motorists that impaired driving has “life or death” consequences. Visit LifeOrDeathIllinois.com for more information.

• FAIR already facing, the board decided to suspend the soliciting of sponsorships and donations. The grandstand events rely on this financial assistance and a full house of attendance to generate a profit. This profit then pays for free entertainment held throughout the fair and also contributes to the premium payouts for the general and livestock exhibits. In addition, the financial hardship was affected by the cancellation of the annual spaghetti dinner fundraiser, as well as the inability to rent the grounds for camping groups and other events. The fair association is so thankful to those who have donated to the fair through this difficult time. Even without a fair, the organization faces many financial responsibilities. Anyone who would like to contribute to the stability of the fair, may send donations to: M-P Fair, P.O. Box 114, Henry, IL 61537. There are still $20 drawdown tickets available for the postponed drawdown which has been rescheduled for July 9 during the monthly board meeting. Also available are the 2020 commemorative T-shirts for $10. Both

Each year, the PCCC participates in Birdies for Charity, a program created by the John Deere Classic that has donated over $120 million to regional charities in IL & IA. Due to COVID-19, the 2020 John Deere Classic has been canceled. However, you can still donate to the PCCC through Birdies for Charity through July 3! Donating through Birdies for Charity guarantees us your donation PLUS a 5% match from Birdies for Charity. We must raise $34,035 this year and we are $6,600 short of our goal.

the drawdown tickets and the T-shirts are available at the fair office on Tuesdays and Thursdays or by calling the office at 309-3642814. The fair association thanks those who have shown support through phone calls, emails and Facebook. “We understand that everyone is disappointed and unhappy with the cancellation of our fair. When looking at our fair as a whole and then understanding all the components that help create our fair, we hope you come to realize why we made the decision to cancel,” the association stated in a press release. “Some of you have asked if there is anything you can do for the fair. In addition to financial support, the fair is always in need of volunteers to help maintain the grounds and buildings.” Planning for the 2021 fair is already underway and the fair is always looking for additional events or attractions to offer to attendees. Any ideas can be emailed to: mpfair@frontier.com. Volunteers will also be needed during next year’s fair to assist the event chairmen with their activities or to supervise the exhibits. Mark the calendar for the 100th anniversary of the Marshall-Putnam Fair, July 14-18, 2021.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS EXTENSION

4-H members are accustomed to pledging their “health to better living,” which is no different during the current global health situation. With a focus on managing the safety of event participants and the community, Bureau, LaSalle and Marshall-Putnam Counties 4-H has pivoted its traditional in-person 4-H fairs to an online virtual format. 4-H members will have an opportunity to exhibit their project work and be judged, providing vital learning feedback. Participants will continue to receive the same awards and recognition they would if the fair were held in-person, including promotion to the state fair. Details of Bureau, LaSalle and Marshall-Putnam’s virtual shows can be found at https://extension. illinois.edu/events/2020-06-02virtual-show-2020-blmp. While they know this is not the outcome many wanted to hear, they are committed to the safety of its members and volunteers.

When able, they look forward to bringing 4-H families together to celebrate, to renew friendships and to offer thanks for each other while forging ahead even stronger into the next 4-H year. For more information about

the 4-H program, call University of Illinois Extension – Bureau, LaSalle, Marshall, Putnam Unit Office at 815-224-0889. Extension offices are located in Princeton, Ottawa, Henry and in Oglesby on the IVCC campus.

DOWN ON MAIN STREET

July 3 concert canceled in downtown Princeton

PRINCETON — The Down on Main Street concert originally scheduled for July 3, featuring the Joe Stamm Band, has been canceled. This comes after careful consider-

ation for public health and safety and is in compliance with Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s five-phase plan to safely reopen the state. Autumn Kirk, director of Prince-

ton Tourism, said: “We will continue to evaluate future street concert dates, and that it is our hope that future concerts will occur as scheduled.”

The Joe Stamm Band would have performed in Princeton July 3, but the concert has been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The central Illinois band is known as a high-energy country/rock group.

IN BRIEF 2021 Miss Illinois County Fair Queen Pageant canceled SPRINGFIELD — With many county fairs having to cancel due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Board of Directors of the Illinois Association of Agricultural Fairs voted to cancel the 2021 Miss Illinois County Fair Queen Pageant. Contestants for the January competition would have been chosen at Illinois county fairs this summer. Current Illinois County Fair Queen Kelsi Kessler will remain throughout 2021 and give up her crown at the 2022 IAAF Convention and Pageant. In addition, the board voted to cancel the state Talent Show competition, also held in January, due to many county fairs canceling and not having competitions this summer. The 2021 IAAF Convention, scheduled Jan. 15-17, will still go on at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Springfield. The ever-popular Trade Show and Showcase of Entertainment is expected to be bigger than ever, as county fairs book entertainment and talent for their 2021 fairs.
