Stroll on State

Help is needed for returning holiday tradition in Illinois.

Rockford's popular Dasher Dash 5K is coming back this year with new experiences to enjoy, and registration is already open.

If you've ever wanted a job as an elf during Christmastime, you should consider volunteering for this year's Stroll on State.

You've got kids, or maybe you've got grandkids. One of the joys of being a parent/grandparent (at least for my wife and me) was taking the kids to see Santa during the holiday season.

If you've been spending more time locked-in at home than you'd care to, here's a great chance to not only get out of the house, but also lending a helping hand with a great community event.

Stroll On State is hoping to bring a little more joy to the 815 this holiday season with a decorating contest for Winnebago County businesses.

Like most things this year, Stroll On State will look a little different.

OnlyInYourState.com says these are the towns across Illinois that have decorations, activities and a certain je ne sais quoi to really get you in the holiday mood.

Stroll on State attracted an estimated 87,500 visitors to downtown Rockford, up 6 percent over 2017.

A travel blogger who was very critical of Rockford a few months ago may have changed his mind regarding the Forest City.
