A popular spring event is moving to April and to a new location

The Oswego Area Chamber of Commerce’s Hometown Expo is set for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on leap year, Saturday, April 17, at the Kendall County Fairgrounds, Yorkvillle.

This year we moved the location and are very excited about the possibilities this new location allows us to have. While we won’t have as many indoor booths, we have an abundance of space for outdoor booths and that ability to do some pretty awesome demonstrations on the fairgrounds. There will also be a food truck area for people to catch a bite to eat. This location also allows us room to grow the event and expand on things we can do at the event. https://www.oswegobusiness.org/sponsors.htm to learn more about our sponsors.

Free and open to the public, the annual event gives business and community organizations an opportunity to promote their products and services. We would like to thank this year’s sponsors for their support

“There will be more than 60 booths inside this year and many outside along with demonstrations and more. The Expo booths will be featuring information, items for sale, giveaways, food and more,” Oswego Area Chamber of Commerce Director Angie Hibben said.

It will provide fun for the whole family. Just some of the day’s activities include demonstrations, an art show featuring work made by both Oswego and Yorkville students as well as amateur adults, Additionally, the expo will feature an electronics recycling event and shred event. Televisions for recycling will cost $15. Both the shred/electronics recycling truck will be located by the by the front gate in the parking lot.
