Collegiate programs from around the country will converge on DeWitt County this weekend. 

Curt Homann, Executive Director of the DeWitt County Development Council, explains that the University of Illinois will host rowing teams from around the USA for the Illinois Rowing Invitation this weekend at Clinton Lake - bringing hundreds of visitors into DeWitt County. 

The Fighting Illini utilize Clinton Lake all summer long because it is one of the premier locations for rowing in central Illinois due to its ideal conditions. 

Homann is asking the community to be prepared to welcome guests into the community, not only this weekend, but throughout the summer, as Clinton Lake is a popular destination for visitors. Learn more about the DCDC at dcdc-illinois.net or find them on Facebook.
