It is free! \nWelcome Home Effingham is a support local day. One afternoon\, one pavilion\, a lineup of Effingham businesses and shops set up under one roof so you can meet the people behind them. \nThere will be food. There will be music.

This year we are moving to the Brown Pavilion and doubling the vendor lineup. \nA few practical notes:Almost everything is under the pavilion\, so a little rain does not cancel anything.Free parking at Evergreen Park.Kid friendly. Bring them! \nHosted by The McWilliams Group. \nInterested in a vendor table? Please contact my admin\, Kylie McWilliams\, at 815-474-1497.
