Midwest Cigar ????

[cigarman82]

As has been posted in the cigars section, we are producing a herf in Peoria, IL on September 8th. While that post deals with our battle with CI/CBID, I'd like to use this post for the real story, the event.

The event will be held at Hickory Grove Park, just outside of Peoria. The event was formerly known as the Havana Cigar Fest & Beach Bash, and has moved to Peoria. We plan on having food, music, spirits, beer, and of course, cigars. Admission is just $5.

For more information, PM me on here, or you can email me at luke@midwestcigarfest.comor you can check out our website at http://www.midwestcigarfest.com

Dude, you left out the most important midwest city....BELOIT, WI! Okay, so it's only a few miles from Rockford, but still.

Doubt I'll make. Slightly too far for a weekend trip.
