One of the highlights of the I.A.S. year is the Annual Camp-Out! The place and the 
program for 1964 promise to make this the largest turnout of all, Kickapoo State 
Park is one of the most popular recreational spots in Illinois, 
The area has a memorable history. In 1730 some 800 Fox Indians were besieged there 
for 23 days by a force of Frenchmen combined with Iroquois Indians, and were 
Slaughtered in an escape attempt, Here, too, was one of the few foreign invasions 
of The United States, In 1786 some Spaniards from what is now St, Louis invaded 
the region and sought to obtain the cooperation of the Kickapoo Indians, who had a 
village in what is now the park, After a 3-day pow-wow, the Indians rejected the 
Spaniards and drove them out ina bloody battle, 
Of the 1,500 acres in the park, 400 provide fine fishing waters, There are many 
different trees and shrubs, and members who have been here before report a long 
list of birds, Camping facilities are right in the park, and a good location will 
be reserved for I.A.S. members, You will find good water, toilet facilities, and a 
concession stand at a covered pavilion, Bring your camera, binoculars, and sturdy 
hiking shoes,
