It the event is postponed, it will be delayed for one week.
DIRECTIONS TO THE COMPETITION SITE
The trebuchet competition will be held on Gregory Street, on the west edge of the Illinois State University Golf Course. Gregory Street runs east-west along the north side of University High School, and intersects US 51.
From northbound US Route 51: Proceed north through Normal, past ISU, past the big water tower, to the north end of University High School (on your left). Look for the street sign BOWLES Avenue. (Bowles goes east, GREGORY goes west from this intersection.) Turn left (west) and continue along GREGORY for a distance of 0.8 miles. Look for the A-frame sign on the right (north) side of the road. If you reach the University Farm, you've gone too far.
