Those affiliated with Route 66 are looking forward to the Route 66 Miles of Possibility Conference later this week in Normal.

Geoff Ladd with the Route 66 Scenic Byway Association is looking forward to the conference. He says if you are looking to connect the Route 66 product to your group, this is the place to be.

According to Ladd, the conference features a couple of keynote speakers that should bring great information. He's excited because the conference floats around the area but this year, they are holding it in Normal.

Ladd says the conference always brings something new to the table to learn about with Route 66. He is looking forward to a panel of speakers with a wealth of knowledge on Route 66.

Ladd invites the public to the presentation of Candacy Taylor. The presentation will be held at ISU Alumni Center, located at 1101 North Main Street in Normal on Friday from 7 pm to 9 pm.
