I'm from good old Illinois. I live in Harvard, "milk capital of the world". Since no one wrote in saying they were anywhere near IL, I live about 2 hours north of Chicago, and 20 minutes from the Wiscosin border. I am about half an hour from McHenry Co. fairgrounds arena, 20minutes from Boone Co. fair arena, and 45 minutes from Horse Fair Park (Spring Grove Arena to most of us) for all you IL barrel racers.

I thought I lived in a really small town before I read about some of you girls in Texas. We have an 8000 population, but that's in town. I live in "rural" Harvard. I have about 2 neighbors and a tree farm close to me. That's it.

Every year Harvard has this big parade thing. It's called Harvard Milk Days. It's like a celebration of being the milk capital of the world during World WarII when we had 5 railroad tracks leading out of the town. We even have a statue of a cow. Her name is Harmilda. Get it.... HARvard MILk DAys.

I guess ya'll don't want to know the whole history of my little town, so I'll stop there. <

I live about an hour drive west of IL in Franklin County Missouri.... Still pretty far away though! Have you ever been to Arlington Park? I want to go there to see the Arlington Million or a Breeder's Cup one of these days SO badly, but for now I have to live with my occasional trip to Fairmount. My areas rural right now, but according to growth patterns is going to grow over the next several years which means all these area I like to ride and all the  beautiful fields are going to turn into subdivisions; there seems to be at least one good sized subdivision going up in this town every year and another local highway gets more and more grown up every time I see it.....

Welcome JY!  You know when you live in a small town when you pick your kid up from daycare (the local Baptist church) and get in line behind 5 other 4 door dirty diesels.
