The Illinois State Fair reaches the halfway point today on “Twosday”.

Admission for adults and seniors is $2, and all rides on the carnival midway and Adventure Village are $2 each.

Draft horse, sheep and swine shows are in the livestock area.

Truck and tractor pulls are in the Multi-Purpose Arena after wet grounds forced their cancellation on Monday.

The Creekers are on the Grand Central Stage at 7:30 and Ziggy Marley headlines the grandstand at 8:00.
