The Taylorville City Council met in their regular session on Monday Night at the Taylorville Municipal Building. One item on the agenda was a motion to approve the request for and to grant a special events permit for the 31^st Annual Chillifest to be held on October 1^st and 2^nd at the Christian County Square. Alderman Earl Walters made a comment on the motion where he shared that this year’s Chillifest is slate to be the biggest ever.

There is one event however that the city simply couldn’t get put together, that event being the 5-k. That said, there is still plenty scheduled for Chillifest.

Ultimately the Taylorville City Council voted unanimously to approve the request. Barricades will be placed on the south side of the Taylorville square beginning at noon on Friday, September 30^th, and the whole square will close at 6PM on Sunday the 2^nd until the cleanup is done.
