The Springfield Convention and Visitors Bureau posted this video from the press conference announcing the International Route 66 Mother Road Festival in downtown Springfield, Ill., next weekend.
The festival is marking its 10th anniversary. And, yes, it’s become a big deal in a relatively short time — 1,000 classic cars and more than 80,000 people expected to attend.

Sharp-eyed readers will notice that the press conference was held inside the historic Cozy Dog Drive-In.
