What is the Hometown Market?
The Hometown Markets are held 8 times a year at the Lake County Fairgrounds. Most of the artisan markets are held inside the Industrial Building which provides a comfortable space year round. In addition, we hold one outdoor market in the summer under roof in the big Show pavilion, also at the Fairgrounds.
