Books, Bites & Boutiques Bus Trip * Sat, June 27 * 9am to 7pm

We have such a great day planned for you!!! 

Saturday, June 27, 2026, we are jumping on the Big Red Bus and hitting the road! 

We'll leave the Peoria Book Rack parking lot by no later than 9:10 am and head to Lincoln, Illinois, where we'll visit Ink & Imprint Bookstore. Next to that is Mel-O-Cream Donuts and The Guest House Coffee. You bet I'm getting some donuts and coffee!!! We'll also have time to check out some of the other cute shops in the area.

Our next bus stop is Jacksonville, Il where we will check out Our Town Books! There are some fun boutiques and restaurants here that we can spend some time looking at. 

Our next stop is in Petersburg, Il at Wildflower & Rose Bookstore at Cafe Amulet. Again, there are some super cute boutiques and restaurants here, including Hand of Fate Brewery.

This is sure to be a GREAT time so don't miss out!

We have 42 spaces available - $60 per spot. This includes the bus ride to and from all spots and back to the PBR parking lot around 7 pm that evening. Everyone receives a free goodie bag, and we'll be doing raffles for FREE prizes on the bus.

We'll also have bottled water on the bus! You may bring a small cooler with alcoholic beverages on the bus, as well as snacks, etc! There is storage under the bus for all your purchases!

*Please note that this is a renovated school bus and can get bumpy at times. The bus is air conditioned but some people like to bring personal neck fans.
