Also the Du Quoin State Fair Grounds was the original home of the Hambletonian, America's premier harness racing event. Currently the race is called the World Trotting Derby.

While in years past it was known for hosting named entertainment for variety shows, the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds still brings great name music to Southern Illinois. |
