Du Quoin, Illinois (February 19, 2020)………The 5th Annual “Shamrock Classic” at Du Quoin’s Southern Illinois Center has officially opened for entries to the $5,000-to-win NOS Energy Drink National Midget event on Saturday, March 7th.

After that deadline, entries for the midget division will increase to $100.
