Catfish Days in Wilmington IL
Posted July 25, 2009
on:For the next few days the town of Wilmington IL will be invaded by people that for some reason want to celebrate a catfish with a summer festival. The goings on include a carnival, beer garden, live music, fireworks, street vendors, little Miss Wilmington contest, dance performances in the street, and the hunt for “clues” which lead you to money.

It certainly is worth a walk around town if you ask me. Also since its a town ordeal we’ve been allowed to wear jean and polo shirts to work. Jeans in a bank with a dress code like this is like parole to someone on death row. haha. Read More
