7 a.m. to noon. Tickets are $6 for adults, $3 for children 4-10, and
free for 3 and under. If you would like to sell tickets or buy
tickets, please call Marsha Brown, 217-735-2108. Treat your

Kudos
to Eric Graue with Merrill Lynch and Andy Fitzpatrick
with Pacesetter Financial Group.
Fitzpatrick successfully completed and passed the Series 65 Exam.
He is now registered as an "investment advisor" for Pacesetter
Financial Group.
Eric Graue now is a "Certified Financial Planner" professional.
The CFP mark of distinction is one of the most recognized and
respected credentials in the financial services profession. To earn
a CFP certification, Eric had to meet the rigorous standards of
education, examination, experience and ethics set by the Certified
Financial Planner Board of Standards. Earning this distinction
demonstrates his ability consider a wide array of factors
(investments, insurance, employee benefits, etc.) to help his
clients develop, implement and track progress toward a plan to meet
their financial goals.
