By 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, almost 100 area residents had arrived at The Stables on the edge of Kewanee for a meet-and-greet event with Illinois State Rep. Darren Bailey (R-Xenia), who recently announced a bid to run for governor.
Missing from the meet and greet event, however, was the guest of honor, who had been delayed. Bailey's wife, Cindy, hurried out to the Kewanee Municipal Airport to pick him up.
At a table set up near the front entrance, Kewanee Mayor Gary Moore and his wife, Jeanna, registered guests who turned out to hear what Bailey had to say.
