Local leaders congregated to the Illinois State Fair Thursday for the annual Republican’s Day, and among those was Morrisonville State Representative Wayne Rosenthal who says the day gives him a chance to meet and see people from his region, including Montgomery, Macoupin, and Christian County.

Rosenthal explains that the state fair continues to draw attention and much needed exposure to the importance of the agricultural industry to the state of Illinois.
