Brief item in the Bloomington Pantagraph: The Illinois Route 66 Association seeks nominees for its Hall of Fame. Nominees can be businesses or people with a connection to the road.
Nomination letters should be no more than four pages and include the history. Photos and memorabilia are welcome, but not required. Deadline to submit is Feb. 25.
Winners will be inducted during the group’s annual Motor Tour in June.
If you’re not sure who’s in the Illinois Route 66 Hall of Fame and who’s not, you can check the list here.
I have a suggestion for a nominee hare (hint hint).
Mail nominations to Route 66 Association of Illinois, Attn: Hall of Fame Committee, 110 W. Howard St., Pontiac, IL 61764.
A Hare of a different color, but a worthy and deserving one.
