The Knox County Fair is opening Monday with a big celebration—Illinois' oldest fair is turning 175 this year and adding fireworks to the festivities along with a returning rodeo. It's a beautiful day to get outside with clear skies and a high near 86°F, plus air quality is in the good range if you're planning to enjoy local events like Justin Moore at the fairgrounds or the Monmouth Flying Club's Fourth of July fly-in breakfast.
