Description

Park District Conservation Day began in 1994 as a special recognition day for Illinois park districts, forest preserves, conservation districts, recreation, and special recreation agencies. Agencies send dance groups, bands, chorales, theater groups, zoos, and more to perform or exhibit at various locations throughout the fairgrounds. Agency board members and staff can volunteer to distribute giveaways, work the Park District Conservation Day booth, and coordinate activities throughout the day. Park District Conservation Day brings an awareness of the variety of wonderful activities our agencies bring to the citizens of Illinois. The Illinois Association of Park Districts and the Illinois Park & Recreation Association co-sponsor this event in partnership with the Illinois State Fair for more than 100,000 fairgoers.
