esw1966: I know a couple of people in Bloomington/Normal....one is my former niece (from my 1st JW marriage). I would love for her to also be out, but I don't see that ever happening. Were you orginally from IL? I'm in East Central IL.

We did used to go to Springfield for the convention. I always loved it because my youngest son, though he rarely made a meeting any more, would go with me and we would have a great weekend together. We'd always go in the evenings to Knight's Action Park or White Oaks Mall. But several years ago, our circuit started going to convention in St. Charles, MO. It's not nearly as nice as the Prairie Capitol Convention Center. The seats are more narrow and the parking's a nightmare. I have heard a lot of complaints about the place. But I hear the place in Springfield will no longer rent to JW's because of issues with the food vendors.
