SAME TIME, DIFFERENT DAY!

Our next Midway Market is happening Saturday, October 16th from 12 PM to 6 PM at Lost Forest!

The Strip is going to be shut down that day for the big event, with Spin Doctors playing right around the corner, so Carbondale is going to be BUSY!

There’s already a vendor market happening down the Strip, but we wanted to open up our own space at Lost Forest for even more local vendors to get in on the action.

If you make, sell, bake, create or have a small local business, we’d love to have you join us!

TAG YOUR FAVORITE LOCAL VENDOR that you’d love to see set up at Lost Forest on October 18th!

Vendor spots are available. Send us a message for details.

Come shop local, grab some food, coffee or drinks, and enjoy what should be a busy day in downtown Carbondale!

Callie has been part of her family since 2015. After nearly 12 years of adventures and unconditional love, she is now facing cancer and has begun treatment through a clinical trial at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

Her family is doing everything they can to give her more happy and comfortable days, but the unexpected veterinary care and frequent trips to Urbana have quickly become a financial burden.

If you’d like to be part of Callie’s journey, please consider making a donation to her GoFundMe. Every little bit helps her family focus on what matters most.

And if you’re not able to donate, sharing her fundraiser is a wonderful way to help!
