About 55 miles west of Chicago lies the quaint, pastoral, and charming town of Plano, Illinois.
This rural community has a storybook main street that serves as its centerpiece with thriving restaurants and local businesses; yet, one particular annual event in the town has captured the attention of people even beyond Plano.
