 The Illinoisan of the Day program recognizes citizens who make a
difference in their communities while showing Illinois spirit
through hard work and a dedication to helping others.
"Nominating an individual is as simple as the click of the mouse
or picking up the phone," said Pam Gray, the foundation's board
chair. "By sending in nominations, you can help give these special
people in your community the thanks and appreciation they truly
deserve."
Illinoisan of the Day winners will be invited to receive gifts
and honors on stage during their special day at this year's Illinois
State Fair, Aug. 8-18.
Nomination forms can be requested by calling the museum
foundation at 217-415-4408. They can also be printed from the
museum's website at
www.statefairmuseum.org. The postmark deadline for nominations
is June 15. All nominees must currently reside in Illinois.

Illinoisan of the Day winners and their nominators will be
contacted by phone in late June to begin arrangements for August
ceremonies. Winning names will be announced at the museum
foundation's annual Corndog Kickoff on July 13 in the Orr Building
on the Illinois State Fairgrounds.
The Illinois State Fair Museum Foundation is a not-for-profit
organization dedicated to preserving the heritage, traditions and
legacy of the Illinois State Fair for future generations. The
organization's collections are on view during all 10 days of the
fair.
