Illinois not opening parks / Cardinal Center & Ohio on alert?

The IDNR is probably not opening their state up to big gatherings. I would expect Chicago and East St Louis (Sparta area) to be down for the summer.

Could be Gipson is bending a knee at Jack’s place. Cardinal Center!!!!

 

What makes you think the Cardinal Center will be open.

 

Unless they can build a virus proof wall between ILLnews and OH the chances that the place in ILLnews is closed and the CC is open seem pretty slim to say the least.

 

2 to 1 odds the State of Illinois will not want to spend the money to open the parks. And they may not have the manpower. Who do you think is maintaining that place?

5 to 1 the CC could be open and operating in a week.

 

IF this virus is under control and people can again congregate in large numbers I think the ata would PAY WHATEVER ILLnews wanted to be able to hold that shoot in August.
All they have to do is tack on a little Covid-19 recovery “donation” to each event to cover the cost.

Now, if the all clear isn’t given until say late July there won’t be that many people going, as if there ever is, so the 4 or 5 LURKERS that claim they go there every year can pony up the expense.

Whatta say guys? Each one of you kick in $10,000 to help the boys out. I remember that engineer from NY said he and his friends had “deep pockets” and would be more than willing to put up 10k each to help. Of course this was the guy that borrowed his pals cart, forgot where he put it, then tried to say it was stolen. Yeah right, this bozo has 10K to donate. Uh huh!

All you need is a couple engineers and a couple farmers and their pals and that shoot should be a great success. Or, it could again just succ. My money would be on the latter.

I doubt very much if they will hold that shoot in August in ILLnews but it has nothing to do with the state park being open or not.
My county park is “closed” and it is a LARGE county park. In fact there are 2 large parks in Allegheny county.
They haven’t done this much maintenance in the last 30 years. Grass cutting, road repair, building painting, you name it they are doing it.
If the state parks in ILLnews have people still doing maintenance then it wouldn’t take a week.
