Vulture Fest Cancelled This Year

We were very sorry to learn that Vulture Fest was cancelled this year.  The state has apparently decided to finally take on the bridge in downtown Makanda, resulting in the site being turned into a construction zone.  This is a real loss for the area, as Vulture Fest is perhaps the most distinctive event in Southern Illinois.  The only bright side is that they should be finished by this time next year (unless this is the same crew who built the Murphysboro bridge), and we'll be in great shape for next year's event.
