Marigold Festival on display

In advance of Pekin’s 50th Marigold Festival (to be celebrated 8-11 Sept. 2022), Pekin Public Library’s Local History Room now features a display of Marigold Festival memorabilia and articles from over the years, reaching back to the very first festival in 1973.

Local History Program Coordinator at the Pekin Public Library. I oversee the library's local history room collection, write a weekly local history column/weblog for the library, and present local history programs at the library and in the community.
