Eureka! It's Reagan Fest!

A few weeks ago, I posted about our visit to the Ronald Reagan Museum and Peace Garden at Eureka College (the president's alma mater) in Eureka, IL.

Well, this weekend, the City of Eureka is celebrating Reagan Fest in honor of the 40th President.

If you live anywhere close to Eureka, you can head down to the small town (not far from Peoria) to enjoy food and art vendors, a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, inflatable "rides" for the children, a golf outing, a trail race and a "kid parade."

Eureka, of course, lies on the Ronald Reagan Trail, which was dedicated 11 years ago this week.

I also invite you to check out the full Reagan Trail Series over at Marathon Pundit.

It's nice to see "Dutch" getting his due here in Illinois.

We posted here previously about our visit to the Ronald Reagan Museum at Eureka College (Reagan's alma mater) in Eureka, IL.

Eureka sits on the historic Ronald Reagan Trail, which was dedicated on August 25, 2000 — 11 years ago today.

You can click below to watch the C-SPAN video of the dedication of the Reagan Trail. Please also check out Marathon Pundit's series of posts on his trip along the trail.
