Markets

Young Entrepreneur Market

Taking place at Four Seasons Legacy Center, this youth market empowers elementary through college students to explore entrepreneurship in a hands-on setting. Participants present their ideas in a real-world marketplace, take part in an online business pitch competition, and learn how companies grow. The experience builds confidence, nurtures creativity, and helps turn fresh ideas into practical opportunities.

Pins and Needles

Celebrate the world of fiber arts at Normal Public Library with a welcoming program for newcomers and experienced makers alike.

Talk with skilled artisans and representatives from local craft shops and fiber guilds who will answer questions and share practical tips. The Fix It Friday Repair Shop will be on site providing free basic sewing, mending, and clothing repairs, so bring along a garment that needs a little care.
