If you're planning on joining us this Sunday for the very first Crafted at the Oak: Metal, Magic & Mystery Market at Imperial Oak Brewing in Willow Springs, there are a couple of things I want you to know before we get into everything you're going to find.

Whether you're searching for a rare comic book, flipping through crates of vinyl, chasing that elusive trading card, or discovering original artwork from local creators, the hunt begins Saturday, August 1, as the second annual Comics, Cards & Vinyl Market returns to Noon Whistle Brewing from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Looking for something different to do this weekend? The Flurry Artisan Market returns to Hailstorm Brewing Company on Sunday, July 26, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., transforming one of Tinley Park's favorite breweries into a marketplace filled with local artists, handmade goods, great food and craft beer.
