Custer Fair began in 1972 and every year artists, craftspeople, restaurant owners, antique dealers, entertainers and the business community gather to organize a fair in this ground. This carnival includes lots of entertainment and special sections of antiques, food, arts & crafts, jobs and many more.

You can also enjoy live music from various bands which would play Jazz, Folk, Blue Grass, International and Novelty. There would also be songs, dance, theater, comic acts and plays for the visitors.

This year, they have opened a "Green Fair" section which is an open air festival and will be based on the theme of "Green". Makers of solar and wind energy devices along with surveyors of organic and traded products will participate in the event.

If you live in the Bucktown area of Chicago, IL, then Olivia's Market is probably the best choice you have. The place is a relatively new one but even so, it is one of the best in the area. It was opened only in 2004.

The unique thing about this supermarket is that its offers a host of locally made products more than standard branded products. This makes sure that the time between the foods being produced and reaching you is minimal.

When it comes to cheese, the store takes particular care that they sell it to you at the perfect ripeness in order to offer you the best experience.

Wine is another specialty of Olivia's Market. Again the store concentrates more on local and innovate beers and wine so that you have the best experience.
