Looking for something to do this weekend? Check out the Labor Day celebration in Colchester, Illinois. They'll have food vendors and flea marketers all around town, a carnival in the busines district, and a show tent in the park with live entertainment all day and stage shows in the evening.
 Then drive on out to Argyle Lake State Park for the Antique Gas Engine Show, a festive celebration of times past. You'll see demonstrations of wheat threshing, hay baling, sawmilling, sorghum making and blacksmithing. You can also watch crafts persons make quilts, whittle and make rugs. In addition, hundreds of antique tractors, cars and gas engines are on display. For bargain hunters, there is also a giant flea market.
