Two local mayors issue emergency orders ahead of an early St. Patrick's Day celebration known as Unofficial.
Both Mayor Diane Wolfe Marlin of Urbana and Deborah Feinen of Champaign issued the orders that place limitations on bars or restuarants holding liquor liceneses.
A few of the limitations include restricting hours to serve alcohol, banning serving beverages in pitchers, and requiring employees to perform ID checks upon entrance.
Unofficial is a weekend-long event that draws thousands to the University of Illinois campus area, but it's not sanctioned by the university nor Champaign-Urbana.
City leaders say the event is scheduled to begin March 6th.
