Springfield,
Ill. – Enjoying the Illinois State Fair just got easier, especially for
Illinois college students. State Fair
Manager Patrick Buchen announced today College Night will take place on
Thursday, August 20th.
Any
college student who purchases a ticket to see The Fray with Andy Grammer at the
Grandstand will receive FREE admission to the fairgrounds for the night of the
concert, August 20th. “This is a great
way to kick off a brand new school year,” said State Fair Manager Patrick
Buchen. “Many of these students are just getting acclimated to a new city and
making new friends, what better place to do that than at the Illinois State
Fair with a great concert.”
To sweeten the deal for area college students,
University of Illinois Springfield will offer its students a shuttle service
from the university to the state fairgrounds from 5:30pm until midnight. “As
our students return for the start of the fall semester, we welcome this
opportunity for them to experience the Illinois State Fair,” said University of
Illinois Springfield Chancellor Susan Koch.
For
non-UIS students, Springfield Mass Transit District offers transportation to
the fairgrounds for a minimal cost, and Uber also offers services in the
Capital City. SMTD bus route information
