Hobnob Harvest Market Set for Sept. 7-8

Hobnob Harvest Market is returning to the Effingham County Fairgrounds in Altamont, Illinois, on September 7 & 8. Known simply as “Hobnob” for short – this market has become a favorite fall tradition in the Effingham area.

Vintage goods at the market include finds like antique furniture, rusty farm primitives, industrial pieces, & all sorts of curiosities from the late 1800s to the 1970s. Handmade goods range from home décor & jewelry to hand-poured candles, children’s accessories, and sweet treats. Several boutique clothing vendors round out the market for autumn.

Hobnob Market vendors are handpicked for their goods, style, & display talents. Several food vendors will also be set up offering Midwestern delicacies like pulled pork, grilled pizza, & fresh-churned ice cream. Locally-owned Tuscan Hills Winery stocks wine, beer, and their signature caramel apple sangria in two cash bar locations and also serves from their wandering drink cart.

New additions to the Hobnob Harvest Market this year – a game area for kids & adults, a revamped Porter Station for large purchase pick-ups, and some new food choices.
