The antique and vintage item vendors also offer a variety of collectibles, costume jewelry and old barn finds. Many vendors also sell new goods such as household supplies, school supplies, socks, ties, toys. Sellers of approved pre-packaged foods are also permitted. Interested vendors are to contact the Clerk’s Office for information on registration and fees at 630-823-5602 or tclark@hpil.org. More information to follow as we finalize the details for the event.
