Hi all, I saw an ad in the Sunday paper for a new place in Rantoul called
the Fanmarker Club. Here's the info I have:

Fine Dining, Catering, Banquet Facilities. Daily dinner and drink
specials. Dining room area separate from the Ballroom (wooden floor).
Open 11am - 1am Monday - Saturday
Serving lunch from 11am-2pm and
Dinner from 5-9pm.
Bands generally start around 9pm.

Saturday, August 10th: My Brother's Keeper ($3.00 cover after 9pm)
Friday, August 23rd: Keith Harden Duo (no cover)

Grand Opening Weekend: August 29th through September 1st
Wine Tasting, Pig Roast, Live Entertainment
Nightly, Much More!

Aug 31st: 10 piece Big Band
Sept. 1st: Keith Harden

This place sounds like it's worth a scouting mission, they opened their
doors last January (has anyone been there?). The lady I spoke to informs me
that the place never really gets jam packed, there's generally room to
move, on the dance floor.

Anyone up for adding an imprompu field trip to our August line-up and
going to hear My Brother's Keeper on August 10th?
