More in Bureau County to make debut
Star Courier
Eighteen years ago the Bureau County Tourism committee and Henry County tourism came up with an idea to bring tourism travel to their towns. This event – called More on 34 – soon grew into a 100 mile long route of Garage Sales, bake sales and flea markets. But last year the event was cancelled due to Covid. Henry county has chosen not to promote or participate this year.
So for 2021, to make this event even more fun for Bureau County bargain hunters, the event will be open to all communities in Bureau County, not just those with space on Route 34.

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Department of Public Health has several mobile testing teams that are dispatched to various locations around the state each week to provide COVID-19 testing. Anyone can be tested, regardless of symptoms or immigration status. There is no cost to the individual for testing, but they should bring their insurance card if they have one. However, insurance is not required. Specimens will be collected using a simple nasal swab. Drive-through and walk-up testing are both available at most locations.
