Governor Pritzker and the Illinois Office of Tourism and Industry leaders announced a new campaign called “Time for Me to Drive”

The campaign is to encourage residents and visitors to get out and enjoy Illinois’ diverse communities and scenic landscapes safely.

One of the highlights mentioned in the campaign for television, radio, print and highway billboards will be Matthiessen State Park in Oglesby.

After an incredibly difficult year in which the pandemic kept us all close to home and staying apart, lifesaving vaccines are bringing us back to life and heading toward a summer of fun and venturing out Governor Pritzker said.

The campaign will feature the hit song “Time for Me to Fly” by Illinois rock band REO Speedwagon.
