The Chickadee Sermon

Here's to yet another happy Hogchute, Central Illinois' best barn-burning independent not-exactly-a-music-festival in the woods! This year's lineup includes a bunch of Hogchute all-stars and then some, take a look: Brad Handsome Chickadee Sermon Clayton Burke Band Colonel James Presents Husky Martinez Lollygagger Merry Travelers Duo Neoga Paul Kotheimer Sweet Melk Tim McGee All this music, camping, and more for the everyday low price of $20. Gates open at 2, music begins around 4! Full schedule to be posted in event soon! ---> LOCATION <--- The Hogchute Opry is held at the Kalyx Center for Sustainability, a private property near Monticello, IL. The Kalyx Center is located just outside of Allerton Park, but is set back from the road in the woods, so it may be difficult to find for the uninitiated. There will be signs pointing the way, but we suggest you follow these directions from Bill to find the place: ADDRESS: 436 E 1300 North Rd, 61856 From Champaign - Urbana: - Take Church St, in Champaign westbound onto I-72. (not I-74) Exit 166..It's the first exit for Monticello (marked "Market St. - IL 105") - Take Market St./IL 105 through two stop LIGHTS to the first stop SIGN. (corner of the ugly County Market) - Turn right onto Marion St., and go to the end (a "T" intersection by a golf course) - Turn left onto Allerton Road, and go about 3 miles, then past Allerton Park, to another "T" - Turn right onto 1300 North Rd. and look for the Kalyx Center sign, after about 3/4 mile on the right side of the road. ---> PARKING <--- Hey, we don't charge for parking at the event, but I gotta be honest, space is pretty limited back there. Park considerately, carpool with folks if you can, and wouldn't recommend bringing any large recreational vehicles! ---> CAMPING, FOOD, ETC. <---- The backwoods roads around Hogchute can be perilous at night even to seasoned veterans, so we encourage you to bring a tent and camp out overnight. There's no additional cost, things wrap up late, and you won't want to miss Bill's towering bonfire after the music. We've got Juanito's Tacos lined up to serve some food during the evening, but you’re welcome to bring your own grill/food as well. Parking is limited, so carpool when you can. Let us know you're coming, and bring a friend or two! MORE DETAILS: https://fb.me/e/3ye7mdZZX
