An woman suing a sponsor of the Taste of Joliet claims someone shot her in the face with a T-shirt.
Lots of people went to last year's Taste of Joliet with plans to stuff their faces, but not by getting in the way of a T-shirt hurtling through the air. Plans or not, a woman claims that's exactly what happened to her, and now she is suing the event's title sponsor. The suing woman, Debra Simmons, is going after D'Arcy Buick GMC Inc. According to the Taste of Joliet's website, 39 other entities sponsored the 2012 event. Simmons is not suing any of them. She is also not going after the Joliet Park District, the organizers of the Taste of Joliet. Simmons claims a flying T-shirt, which was encased in a cylinder or canister, caused injuries to her "head, face, teeth, and cervical spine," according to her lawsuit. Simmons' attorney, Warren E. …

Would you pay more if it meant shorter lines to get in and cheaper tickets online? Take our poll below.
Despite staff recommendations, the Joliet Park Board decided against raising the Taste of Joliet entrance fee in 2013. District staff had recommended the increase only for tickets purchased at the gate, hiking them from $10 to $15 in order to persuade more people to buy them online, where they would remain $10. Attendees were not inclined to buy them online this year because the $3.95 service fee actually made them the more expensive option, park district Executive Director Dominic Egizio said. If the gate price was increased, people would save about a dollar buying them online, he said. "We want people to buy e-tickets; we don't want them to buy at the gate, mainly for security reasons," Egizio said. "We want them to buy the online …
