Giant Dinosaurs Are Coming to Pecatonica, Illinois

My family lives in Pecatonica, and we often consider ourselves lucky to have such easy access to all the fun things that happen at the Winnebago County Fairgrounds. From fairs and shopping events, to drag races and rodeos, there's plenty of fun to be had at the Winnebago County Fairgrounds, especially during the summer. One thing I have never experienced before at the Fairgrounds is massive, true-to-life, moving dinosaurs, but that is about to change this August!
