SUMMER SOLSTICE AT THE KALYX CENTER
Hi Folks! We're celebrating the beginning of astronomical summer on the day of the solstice...Making the longest day of the year even longer by adding a huge bonfire after dark.
When – Tuesday, June 21st
Where – The Kalyx Center, of course
What time – about 6:30 potluck, 9:30 bonfire (It gets dark late.)
What to bring –
Food to share
Music
Friends
Humor
Bug repellent
Long pants and shoes if you want to hike around
The soil is fairly dry and stable for parking along the lane up to the Kalyx Center. We request that you park along that lane, rather than on the side of 1300 North Rd.
The Kalyx Center for Sustainability is a non-profit organization which
provides space for creative expression, exploration of innovative ways
of getting things done. It's used for meetings, camp outs, weddings, exhibits,
concerts and retreats. We invite your suggestions for events!
Directions:
Beware -- Mapquest, Googlemaps and some other map sites will get you to the wrong
place. The following Directions are time tested!
From Champaign - Urbana, take Church St, in Champaign westbound onto
I-72. (not I-74)
Exit 166..It's the first exit for Monticello, marked "Market St. - IL
105"
Take Market St./IL 105 through two stop LIGHTS to the first stop SIGN.
(corner of the ugly County Market)
Turn right onto Marion St., and go to the end (a "T" intersection by a
golf course)
Turn left onto Allerton Road, and go about 5 miles, (past
Allerton Park) to another "T"
Turn right onto 1300 North Rd. and look for the Kalyx Center sign
after about 3/4 mile on the right side of the road
Biking directions
Go out of Champaign on Kirby Ave. and continue west until it runs up
to I-72. There, you curve left onto old state route 47, biking through
White Heath, over I-72, then later over it again. At this point you
are on IL 105, heading into Monticello. The rest of the route is the
same as above. This route avoids the high speed traffic of route 10
or the Monticello-Tolono Road, and is also kinda scenic after the end
of Kirby.
Or other HELP!
