Officials are reporting that the attendance at the 2018 Du Quoin State Fair has dropped by 8-percent from last year. Organizers say that the 11-day fair attracted about 100,800 residents, before it wrapped up on Labor Day. The attendance decline was about the same as last month’s Illinois State Fair in Springfield, which drew roughly 370,000 people. The highest-attended day at the fair in Du Quoin was during Coal Heritage Day on September 1st, which drew nearly 15,700 people. State Fair manager Luke Sailer says that organizers are proud of the fair’s events, particularly those who were celebrating the Illinois bicentennial.
