HOMEWOOD, IL — The Village of Homewood invites the community to enjoy an expanded Homewood Farmers Market this Saturday, Aug. 23, with more vendors, ready-to-eat food options, and a special celebration in honor of National Senior Citizen Day.

In recognition of National Senior Citizen Day (Aug. 21), the Village is honoring and welcoming all seniors to the farmers market. Shoppers ages 55 and older will receive a free scoop of ice cream from Dip N’ Double and the first 50 seniors will also take home a complimentary Homewood Farmers Market tote bag.
