The donation will be in your name.
Some special events in Taylorville, IL

Romance and warmth multiply in flickering firelight
We are approaching the time of year when warmth is a desirable thing. There is nothing like a flickering fire or the warm bubbling waters of a whirlpool tub for two to warm and stimulate you and your partner and enhance relaxation and romance. Both fire flicker and bubbling jets of our whirlpool rooms are available at the Market Street Inn Bed and Breakfast www.marketstreeinn.com.
Whirlpool Tub for Two next to a Fireplace
Most of our guest rooms have either a gas log fireplace or an electric fireplace while our Hunt Club in the Carriage House has both. Enjoy the romance, the escape and each other.

Saturday, March 6 there will be a wine tasting, as there is every 1st Saturday, at One East Market Restaurant and Jazz Club. Taste fine wines from 3 to 5 pm and rate them and meet new friends. Stay for dinner. Beginning at 5 pm, Gary Burt will be performing in the Lounge, doing his vocalizations which, you would swear, you are hearing Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Tony Bennet. Gary will be performing from 5 to 9 pm. Book your room at the Market Street Inn, ask us to make your dinner reservations at One East Market and have a great time.
Your room will feature either a Queen or King bed and a double whirlpool tub in the bath. Book for two nights and ask about our two night special. Awaken each day to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and anticipate your full, country breakfast. Stay in your room, enjoy our parlors, go out and look the town or the area over and enjoy our Innkeeper Reception about 4 pm each day. We are here for you to have fun. Relax, reconnect and rekindle romance at our fine inn. You cannot go wrong!
Taylorville has numerous very good restaurants which are sure to please your palate.
