Hometown Biz is excited to host Treats & Treasures on September 20th in Seymour, Indiana! This *sweet* event will feature Artisan Bakers, Makers, and Spirits at the Jackson Live & Event Center that is located in Freeman Field just four minutes outside Seymour.

You will have the opportunity to shop baked goods like cookies, cupcakes, artisan breads (even Sourdough), cinnamon rolls, candies, & more! Each of our Artisan Bakers will have one or two treats paired with a wine, bourbon, or other spirit on a “Tasting Menu” for you to enjoy! You can pick up the Tasting Menu at the front desk when you come in if you are 21+ so you can know which “Treat” pairs best with which “Spirit”.

There will be many Artisan Makers at this event sharing their handmade goods such as handcrafted jewelry, crochet stuffies, blankets, tumblers, shirts, paintings, purses, makeup bags, and even a handcrafted pen maker! This event will be perfect to get started on your holiday shopping – whether that’s buying stocking stuffers or completing your entire holiday gift list with some unique items you won’t find elsewhere.
