The 2017 Illinois State Fair kicks off its final weekend and today is a good day to be a first responder.
Police, Fire and EMS personnel will be admitted to the fairgrounds free of charge on First Responders Day.
Tonight's grandstand highlight will be the Southern Uprising Tour featuring Montgomery Gentry, The Charlie Daniels Band, The Marshall Tucker Band, and The Outlaws, starting at 6 p.m.
A fireworks display will be held following the show.
