- **Event Name**: 40th Anniversary Celebration
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 23 Oct, 2025 at 05:00 pm – Thu, 23 Oct, 2025 at 10:00 pm
- **Event Description**: ?CHEERS TO 40 YEARS!?When thinking about ways to celebrate this, we wanted to create a space to share with YOU. We would not have made it 2 years, let alone 40, without the support, dedication and encouragement of this community. So join us for dinner, a silent auction, a glimpse into our past and a sneak peak of our future!

You can purchase tickets through the link in this event. We want to be transparent that this is a fundraising opportunity for us. Many of you know the troubles we are facing with our physical space (we are slowly but surely making progress though!) but we are also facing new uncertainties with rising costs and we want to do everything in our power to be around for another 40 years. As a registered 501(c)3, this money goes back into our mission of bringing fair trade artisan products and stories to Champaign Urbana.

We consider ourselves lucky to have been a part of the small business community in downtown Champaign for the last 40 years. We hope that whether you've shopped with us 4 or 400 times, you'll consider joining us for the event.......we do always bring chocolate. ?
