NORMAL, Ill. - Celina native Dr. Carl Wenning's fascination with the night sky began when his grandfather, Edward "Frank" Feltz of Sharpsburg, pointed out Venus to him in the summer of 1957.
Wenning, 61, an academic who spent a majority of his career at Illinois State University as a physics and astronomy lecturer, planetarium director and program director, has since seen countless celestial bodies. [More]

Beautiful weather and numerous events drew thousands of people to Mercer County destinations over the July Fourth weekend.
"Overall, it was a very successful weekend," Grand Lake St. Mary State Park Manager Brian Miller said.
