Head down to the Museum Square in historic Downtown Bloomington to get your kicks on Route 66 this weekend!
On Friday, July 5, from 5 to 8 p.m., we will be at the intersection of Jefferson and Main St. playing Route 66 trivia and writing cards to people living in care facilities throughout the county.
Plus, Friday is the first day to start your journey down the Route 66 Art Trail, which leads anyone of any age through 17 brick-and-mortar art studios, galleries, and museums in Bloomington-Normal along old Route 66.
