I was at the Illinois State Fair all afternoon, not doing anything for Ron Paul other than voting for him.
There were about twice as many Romney supporters there as Paul supporters, but they were bussed in and all wearing the same white "Delegates committed to Mitt Romney" t-shirt. I heard of conversions from Romney to Paul after they had voted. I never saw a person carrying a sign for anyone other than Ron Paul, though there were plenty of Rudy signs stuck in the ground.
At the time of announcement, the Romney people hijacked the Illinois GOP's "Time for Change" signs, so they could pretend to be as enthusiastic as the Ron Paul supporters.
As per the comment below, 922 people voted.
Detailed results:
Mitt Romney: 40.35%
Fred Thompson: 19.96%
Ron Paul: 18.87%
Rudy Giuliani: 11.61%
John McCain: 4.12%
Mike Huckabee: 3.04%
Sam Brownback: 1.08%
Duncan Hunter: 0.65%
Tom Tancrado: 0.33%

You have admit, placing the voting location behind the goat barn wasn't the best location at the fair.
Yes, it took me quite some time to actually find the location. Directions were not posted well.
I don't know what it's like outside of the Midwest, but it's just not complete without goats, sheep, hogs, cows, and horses!
