Come experience fall in Illinois at the Knox County Scenic Drive! The first two weekends of October are dedicated to celebrating small-town charm, autumn and local creatives! This self-guided tour takes you through eight scenic stops, each filled with local vendors, family-friendly fun, and rich history.
I’ll be set up at the Knox County Fairgrounds and I’d love for you to come visit me! The fairgrounds is one of the largest, busiest, and most beloved hubs of the Scenic Drive, with rows of vendor booths both inside and outside.
You'll find handcrafted goods, antiques, seasonal décor, artwork, homemade treats, and so much more, making it the perfect place to spend the part of your day discovering local makers and supporting small businesses like mine.
I’ll have my booth stocked with my original art on tote bags, stickers, and high-quality art prints, all hand-drawn by me and inspired by nature, wildlife, and positive messaging. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or looking for that perfect gift, I’d love to help you find something special.
So grab a loved one and come explore all the incredible vendors, soak in the autumn atmosphere, and don’t forget to stop by my booth to say hi and shop local art!
