Johnny & the 2G’s
Johnny & the 2G’s are a local folk/bluegrass band composed of singer-songwriter John Brillhart, Gary Fifer (Blue G’s), and Geoff Ryan (Murder Of Crowes). John writes simple songs with thoughtful lyrics, providing an ideal foundation for sonic fireworks – courtesy of his 2G’s. You’re sure to leave humming a new local favorite…

Dew Chilli Parlor Food Truck
The museum once again welcomes Dew Chilli Parlor’s food truck to our front steps! After nearly 20 years, the Dew Chilli Parlor is back on South 5th Street. They serve the same secret recipe-tavern style chilli that 'The Dew' was once known for, and have added a variety of delicious menu items. This locally-owned business is proud to preserve local food history with a modern flair.

Illinois Artisan Poppy Vincent
Springfield native Poppy Vincent has more than 30 years of experience in custom jewelry design and creation. Her work celebrates nature. She incorporates botanical themes using elements such as insects, butterflies, vines, and leaves, intertwining them with gemstone and adding filigree to flowers. She is proud to be involved in the complete process – from wax carving to stone setting. You won’t want to leave the Museum Store without one of her inspired pieces.

POUR Bar | 5:05-8PM
Shake, rattle, & POUR! Pour Bar Services provides expert bartending services for special events in Central Illinois as well as the Governor’s Ballroom. Relax and enjoy a craft brew from Engrained – or any drink of your choice from this fully catered bar. Some of the best bartenders in our area are at your service!
