Illinois State Fair

Can anyone tell me where the Democratic Party tent will be this year, and when it will be open?

Two years ago I found it near the southwest corner of the grandstand, but it was around dusk and it was closed for the night. Last year, I was unable to locate it at all.

I'd really like to see it this year!

It was again in the same area as where I saw it before, but closer to the grandstand - there was only a stage between the two of them.

Inside I saw some exhibits about some current and former state-level Democrats as well as Barack Obama. There was also an Obama cardboard cutout. I got some Pat Quinn stickers as a souvenir.
