County Fair Nominations

The nomination forms for the County Fair races were mailed last week and there was an error on them.  The nomination amount is still $400 per horse (not $500) until March 15, after March 15 the nomination amount increases to $800 (not $600) and can be submitted until May 15.  If you have any questions, please call Carrie at 217-557-4606 or email at carrie.tisckos@illinois.gov, we apologize for any confusion this caused.
