Hello all!

I would like to cordially invite all Illinois (and beyond!) Odd Fellows/Rebekahs and Lodges to attend or participate in this year’s Odd Market hosted by Tuscola #316 in Tuscola, IL. There will be a social the evening of Friday Sept 18th (with tattooing) and the Odd Market will be Saturday, September 19th from 10am-7pm.

Lodges that want to participate with their own fundraising/raffles will get a free booth (just let us know ASAP so we can save a spot). Members who want to vend will receive a discounted booth rate. We want to make this event as IOOF heavy as possible to show the world what we are all about!

We have a block of rooms at the Tuscola Holiday Inn Express at a discount using “Odd Fellows” as well.

To sign up for a booth or for more info please check out our website. https://www.oddmarket.org/

Let me know if you have any questions!
Ask Me I May Know!
