    It’s time once again for our Best of the Midwest feature! Are you trying to come up with some vacation ideas that are only a quick getaway from the Chicago area? Well, John Williams has some great recommendations for your trip! And today, we head north to Wisconsin as John is joined by Savannah Schindler, Public Relations Specialist for Visit Beloit. Savannah tells John about how far Beloit is from the Chicago area, the boutique hotels in downtown Beloit, where you can eat and drink during your stay, and the fun activities you can do while you visit like seeing Beloit’s minor league baseball team, checking out live music at Harry’s Place, or visiting the Downtown Beloit Street Dance. Sound good? If so, enter the Summer Getaway Sweepstakes.
