It’s been a relatively problem-free Illinois State Fair so far, and the American Red Cross wants to keep it that way.
The Illinois Capital Area Chapter has issued some guidelines to help people avoid injury while attending the fair. They include paying attention to weather warnings and seeking shelter if storms move into the area… going easy on the alcohol… and for parents, listening to your kids if they say they’re too scared to go on a ride.
The Red Cross says a scared child may ignore safety instructions or try to get off a moving ride.
