The Shelby County Office of Tourism keeps the community busy with many events each summer. Each season comes with its own set of activities for the office of tourism to coordinate and prepare for. Freddie Fry with the Shelby County Office of Tourism says you can never be too early with submitting your events.

Fry wants the community to know that if one has an event planned for Christmas activities, those can already be sent in. Giving the office of tourism ample time will provide more opportunities for posting and knowledge of the events.

The Windsor Harvest Picnic is already underway and continues to be the longest-running gathering in the state of Illinois. There is still time to enjoy the Windsor Harvest Festival as it runs all day Saturday.

The 51st Cowden Pioneers Days is another upcoming event happening Friday and Saturday, August 25th and 26th. Fry wants the community to come out and experience the Rodeo on Friday night at 10:30 PM, live music, and the many food vendors that will be on site.

The Lake Shelbyville Visitor Guide appears every year. This magazine-style information guide provides tips on what to do in the Shelbyville area for folks visiting. Fry says these visitor guides can be picked up from the Shelby County Office of Tourism.
