CHENOA Axe throwing is coming to the Brown Jug in Chenoa on Sunday, Aug. 8, thanks to the Chenoa City Council granting a special-use permit for the event duringTuesday night’s regular meeting at City Hall.
“This is completely caged and there are spotters behind each person that throws,” explained Bill Bridge of Brown Jug.
The company involved sets everything up and has its own insurance, according to Bridge. Some bars in Bloomington and Peoria are doing this and the council didn’t seem to have a problem with it coming to Chenoa.
“Sounds good to me,” stated Mayor Chris Wilder.

“It’s probably not a week that doesn’t go by that somebody isn’t complaining about these fireworks. I mean, I know that it’s impossible to ask anybody to stand out there with a meter,” said Albany City Commissioner BJ Fletcher and Public Safety Committee member.
