This year’s IAAA State Fair outreach booth, within the Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ “Conservation World,” was a resounding success!! Led by ironwomen Anne Wilson-Dooley, some 83 four-hour shifts were covered by 22 volunteers from across the state. In total, IAAA facilitators attended over 2300 fair visitors highlighting and celebrating the pre-contact and historic periods of Illinois using both directive and non-directive exhibits that included booth passive and active learning activities. There were major upgrades made to posters, activities, and handouts with more to come for 2025! Until next year at the State Fair!
