Farm City Days is a Festival/Expo providing all residents in our portion of Illinois an opportunity to visit and understand farming operations and safety. Proceeds will benefit "Ag in the Classroom" activities in Franklin County. Our first festival is scheduled for June 10, 2017, starting at 11am with a Farm Machinery parade traveling up North Main Street, to the Benton Public Square. Festivities kickoff at 12noon until 6pm.
Keep a look out! Weather pending pole banners will start going up on Friday!

Benton KOA is in the process of updating our site maps. We give each camper family, whether they are in a tent or a class A motor home, a site map as they check in. These site maps display their site location and other needed information during their stay with us. We like to inform our guest of places around town that they may be interested in visiting such as a good place to eat or shop.
For this year's maps, we decided to keep things local. We are doing our own leg work to get businesses signed up and doing all the design and printing here in town. Doing this is allowing us to not only keeping it local but also at a lower cost.
We hope you will choose to be listed in our site maps this year. We plan to print 10,000 of these and your ad will be in each of them. This should cover about a two year period giving your business exposure to 10,000 families that visit our area during this time. Cost per ad will be $200. Please not only help provide our guest with the information they need while visiting us, but also support your own local businesses.
