I think there intention is to keep it in Southern Illinois. And given MAO's paranoia about F.S.L and the WGN story, I suspect they want to keep the program far and away from Chicago. -- ILLINOIS Pageants Board

First of all, who cares about FSL. The story with WGN was about Amalia and Ashley should be happy that happened or she wouldn't be ED. As far as location, it should be held in Bloomington or Springfield so no one has to drive 5 hours anywhere. (NT)	No name	09:20:43 10/25/15 Sun
Can't disagree with anything you said, but I do know that MAO raised the issue more than once when people complained about Amalia, that they thought some of the complaints were orchestrated by F.S.L. Of course, they were not as F.S.L had no impact on the type of experience people were having with the Miss Illinois program after her departure, but MAO was paranoid. So I am sure they want to eliminate any potential involvement of F.S.L and avoid the Chicago market after the recent bad press. (NT) -- No name, 15:51:44 10/26/15 Mon
