Here are a few pics from the 2006 Illinois Secretary of State Show, held in downtown Springfield... Plenty of flashy old rides showed up, although it was admittedly a little hard to find some of them, as they were interspersed among the vegetable vendors, arts and crafts dealers, and such along the city blocks...

Or a Kaiser Darrin, for that matter?  And, if you're really into Corvairs, this was the place to be... Here are a few examples of the neat stuff we saw that morning...
