Vulture Fest in Makanda

Whenever I'm talking to someone about Vulture Fest, I always tell them, "If you never do anything else in Southern Illinois, you have to go to Vulture Fest!" I wish I had the words to explain what makes it such a great time, but I don't. The best thing to do is just go and find out for yourself.
