From a recent interview with Todd Bringuet, CEO, 2023 –

"For many years, the Illinois State Fair Grounds were a second home for the better part of the summer leading up to the Fair. The setup time for the various displays, tents and vendors took much longer to set up, so to accommodate, there was a remote operation with our own tent on-site at the fairgrounds. The whole family loved to take in all the events and attractions.

The whole family, especially Grandma Louise, loved the fair every year and grew up with it being her home for part of the year. The Horn System and Ace Sign Co. have produced and constructed a multitude of signs and displays for the State Fair over the years. From small promotional signs for many vendors to the iconic displays of the State Fair, we have made a lasting impression on Illinoisans for over a century of the Illinois State Fair.

Our absolute best work occurred in this past year at the Route 66 Experience. What an incredible accomplishment our team should be so incredibly proud of!"
