For the past 3 years numerous local sections of the ACS across Illinois have collaborated to host a tent at the annual Illinois state fair held in Springfield, Illinois. The tent hosts multiple hands-on activities and is operated to make the general public aware of the contributions of chemistry in our every day lives. This paper will describe the collaborative activites that have made this a popular tent at the state fair.
