The Hobnob Harvest Market is headed to the Effingham County Fairgrounds (Altamont, Illinois) on September 9 & 10 for their yearly autumn event. The fairgrounds is a new location for this year’s Harvest Market. The change was made from the previous Tuscan Hills Winery location in order to provide on-site parking for the event’s 8-10K shoppers and also better accommodate the number of vendors at the market. The Hobnob Harvest Market is best described as “Pinterest come to life.” The vendors are handpicked from all over the Midwest and their goods and display skills are the best-of-the-best. The vintage finds at the market range from farmhouse to industrial to mid-century to shabby chic. And the Hobnob Market group of creative handmade vendors has been working all summer on their fall lines of jewelry, clothing, children’s goods, refurbished & repurposed furniture, and imaginative home décor pieces.
