Hobnob Harvest Market Set to Return to County Fairgrounds

The Hobnob Harvest Market – a unique vintage & handmade shopping event – will be back at the Effingham County Fairgrounds at Altamont on September 8 & 9.

Organizers say the vintage & handmade vendors who come from all over the Midwest make this market special, adding, "you never know what great old finds you’ll stumble on or what creative handmade piece will catch your eye."

Vintage styles found at the market range from farmhouse to industrial to midcentury to primitive. Handmade goods include jewelry, imaginative home décor, spa-style bath goodies, and sweet children’s accessories. Event sponsors say "hobnob vendors are top-notch display artists and each booth is set up like a miniature shop with a distinct, creative style."

The Hobnob Market offers a Hold Station inside the market to stash furniture pieces you buy plus big or heavy items. Purchases can be held for as long as you’re shopping and then you can drive up to the Hold Station building to load. There will be porters on hand to help you carry & load.

Food including barbecue, American egg rolls, gourmet pizza, & baked goods will be available at the market along with lots of other treats plus wine, beer, and caramel apple sangria by Tuscan Hills Winery.
