Join us for a special talk from author Melanie Holmes as she dives into all the amazing things there are to do here in our home state. See where Abe Lincoln planned, Frank Lloyd Wright created, Carl Sandburg dreamed, Muddy Waters sang, Orson Wells performed, Bill Murray got his first laughs, and where Ernie Banks wanted to play two! From visiting historical sites and viewing architectural marvels to experiences with wildlife and wild nights at comedy clubs and music venues, Melanie covers the entire state's most exciting sights, sounds, and tastes as she tells you all about 100 things to do in Illinois before you die!
