Get ready for a great ride in the country and great scenery this Fall when you head West to Galena, Illinois for a weekend of arts and crafts you will remember for years to come.
When the trees hit peak color, and you're rolling down Hi-way 20 towards Galena, you will be in awe of the scenery, the great fall colors and you'll ask yourself "why didn't we do this before?".
Last year, my wife and I headed to Galena's Country Fair and had a great time. The crisp air, the rolling hill side, the deals, and the history of Galena will be so vivid you'll have one of the most relaxing weekends of the year.
