‼️ Canceled ‼️- Darren: Lake Carroll Fest ‼️ Canceled ‼️- Darren: Lake Carroll Fest August 1, 2026 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm Lake Carroll Golf Course, 29-11 Ironwood Dr, Lanark, IL 61046, USA Lisa, I wanted to follow up on a potential second Bailey stop during the afternoon/evening of Sat, Aug 1: Lake Carroll has a large public event as well this Saturday 8/1. This festival can attract hundreds of people (weather dependent). The Carroll County Republican Women's booth will be there, and gladly will be running from 4pm until Darren decides to head home (should he come). The festival itself runs until 10. The Carroll County Republican Women’s Club has offered to help promote and support the visit, if Darren wants to add that stop after the Ogle County Fair. As soon as they have a definitive answer they will put the word out that he will be in attendance. I’d also be glad to help coordinate with their local party chairs as well (Whiteside/Carroll/Stephenson), should your team decide to add the second stop. Location: Lake Carroll Fest 29-11 Ironwood Drive Lanark, IL In Service, Li Arellano Jr Lee County GOP Chair
