The poultry show may be canceled, but the rest of the show is ready to go at the annual Sangamon County Fair, which runs Wednesday through Sunday in New Berlin.
It turns out they weren t the only ones who thought that.
Top of the Hill Farm Event Venue and Gathering Place is to debut Sunday. The farm at 21427 N. Benedict Street a few miles north of Chillicothe is to be available from noon until 5 p.m. for visiting.
Also available are to be vendors that specialize in weddings and other events appropriate for the 3-acre venue site, which includes a refurbished barn, a corn crib and a kitchenette.
It took about nine months to get the barn in good-enough shape to play host to the Nauman-Gollnitz nuptials in 2019. Built in 1953, the 4,500-square-foot barn had been used to house cattle and to store hay.
