Travel Note
Our venue is a very special place for us — we (Sam and Carrie) are planning to camp out onsite overnight, as we did once in our early days of dating after attending a music festival held on this property. Many of our friends and family are bringing tents to camp out, and we'd love for anyone else to do the same! We'll have a bonfire, late-night snacks, and breakfast in the morning for anyone still around. The Kalyx Center is located just outside of Allerton Park, but it's set back from the road in the woods so it can be tricky to spot. We'll have signs pointing the way, but here are some tried-and-true directions from the owner to help find the place: Address: 436 E 1300 North Rd, 61856 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 3 miles, then 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.
