The Illinois State Fair has a message for politicians – stay away. Most politicos are being told to stay away from this evening’s Twilight Parade. Gov. Pat Quinn, statewide officers and their opponents in the November election are still allowed to sign up. Parade organizers say keeping the lower-level politicians out should cut the parade time in half. Fair spokesman Jeff Squibb says people would rather see a marching band than marching politicians. The Twilight Parade kicks off the fair each year. This year’s Illinois State Fair runs Friday through August 22nd.
