February 24th-29th
On the 24th we celebrated with the Illinois Farmer’s Market Association at Lagunita’s Brewing Co. in Chicago! Every year they host an annual fundraiser to help keep locally derived Farmer’s Markets (and City Markets!) alive. With our Outdoor Market planning in full swing, it was nice to take a little break and celebrate the work of all the other Illinois Markets — especially when some craft beer is involved, am I right?
And on the 29th our friends at Crust & Crumbles held their 2nd annual Dumpling Pop Up to celebrate the Lunar New Year in our event space! Tickets went pretty fast and we were not surprised. Crust & Crumbles always does an amazing job at everything they do. If you didn’t get a chance to attend this event, fingers crossed they host one again next year because this was awesome.
