For many people, the best part of the fair is all the delicious food! The classics — corn dogs, funnel cakes, lemon shake-ups and saltwater taffy — can be found at almost every fair, and the Illinois State fair offers so much more.

Get to know LLCC’s Office of Work-Based Learning

We established the Office of Work-Based Learning at Lincoln Land Community College in July 2020. Work-based learning can take on several flavors, from a job shadowing experience which allows our students to explore a specific career, to internships that are typically done toward the end of a student’s education and may or may not lead to a position within that company.  At the very least, any form of work-based learning is a great way for our students to gain real world experience and possibly college credit.

Indianapolis is an easy (but boring) 200-mile drive and is home to a plethora of excellent restaurants, a famous racetrack, museums, sports facilities and unique attractions. The cuisine found in Indianapolis is extremely diverse with something to suit most people's palates.

Life is like a train ride — hop aboard the ALL Express

My eighth-grade algebra teacher at Grant Middle School in the early 1970s was a beginner teacher named Sally Cadagin. Some 47 years later, we crossed paths again when she encouraged me to become a member of the Academy of Lifelong Learning (ALL) at Lincoln Land Community College (LLCC).

A love affair with crème brulée

When I see crème brulée on a menu, I can’t help myself, I must order it. It is usually good, but every couple of years, it is amazing!

A summer side dish to share

With all of the summer fun to have, I like recipes that are easy to make and that don’t require tons of last-minute time on task. This simple recipe uses a few moments of advanced preparation, then packing the parts separately, and then finally can be thrown together at the last minute. It is a flavorful combination of sweet, salty, spicy, and packs a citrus punch.
