    Barb, I'm not sure what you mean when you say "log onto the link." All you need to do is type your name, email and hometown into the form above and click submit. Is the form showing up for you?

    Last year was the first year I went, which is probably sad to say, as someone who lived in Orland for more of her life. But it was really good, so I recommend everyone go to this. Much more affordable then Taste of Chicago, and all the entertainment is free!

    My only recommendation is to consider bringing your own chairs or blankets to sit on. Plenty of room on the lawns for you to set up your own spots. But not a lot picnic tables set up for everyone. However, if you don't mind sitting inside, or need to sit inside to get out of the heat, they do have a ton of tables & chairs set up in the Civic Center. That's another plus you don't see at other cities' tastes :-)

    Hoping there will be even more vendors signing up. Nothing against the ones already signed up...but since Orland has opened up a few more restaurants this year, it would be great if they could afford to do a tent. Its a great way to try out new places without having to pay for whole meal.

    vokist..the form appears on the top of this page before the story for me. ANd I have used IE, Chrome and Firefox and it appears in all 3 browsers. It also shows up on my Kindle Fire so maybe you have some setting set on your browser that do not allow it to be entered

    For most folks who couldn't see the form, logging out of Patch, closing your browser and starting back over tends to do the trick.
