“Driving the Dixie”

Discover Historic Dixie Highway
The Format: Being much like a “Scavenger Hunt”, participants will follow individual instructions to points of interest
within the Dixie Highway communities, where event "Passports" will be validated. Also, several secret passport location will earn bonus drawing tickets at the prize drawing in Momence.
The Destinations: Visit the oldest operating Business
along the Dixie Highway, view Sears Roebuck homes, view historic murals in two seperate locations, and take a trip around the lake.
The time: registration begins at 8:30 am. and ends at 10:00
sharp at the parking lot across from the Blue Island Library on York Street in Blue Island. Enjoy a cup of "java" and a donut with friends and leave at your leisure.
Passports will be issued the day of the event. All participants must leave form this point, no passports will be issued at any other point.
The Experience: This is a “take your time, travel and
explore at your leisure” event. We would like everyone to get to know the Historic Dixie highway and the interesting places along the route.
