Welcome! Hometown Happenings Inc. is excited to introduce the Hometown Market, a unique artisan market
event. We have a variety of talented entertainment coming each week to give market goers a reason to come back each & every week!
When: Our first series of Hometown Markets will take place on Tuesdays, May 11th through July 13th, from 5:00 – 8pm, at the Show Pavilion across from the horse arena at the Lake County Fairgrounds. There is a playground area in the vicinity for kids and picnic tables to enjoy food and entertainment.
A Different Kind of Market
- $1 Admission ticket gives guest $1 off any vendor at the Market. This $1 then gets returned to the vendor.

- “Small Business Smart Kids” Kid entreprenuers will have the opportunity to participate as vendors.
