in Pontiac, IL. Antiques, Unique Gifts, Artist-made Gifts and Home Decor. Here we hope to keep you abreast of what is happening at the shoppes, decorating ideas, new merchandise, and events you may want to come and enjoy in downtown Pontiac.
My name is Joyce and I am the shopkeeper of The Old City Hall Shoppes. I offer a unique blend of antiques, handmade items, gifts, home accents and souvenirs through my shop, Home Again Antiques, and the other dealers who sell their wares at Old City Hall Shoppes. Shopping at Old City Hall Shoppes is a unique experience. Housed as we are, in Pontiac's historic old city hall and firehouse along with the Illinois Rt. 66 Hall of Fame and The Livingston County War Museum we offer something to appeal to every member of the family. We are just one block off of Pontiac's lovely square. Come visit us soon.
We had lovely weather for Heritage day. Here's a little bit of what went on on the square today. Many folks took a carriage ride around town. The sheep shearing demonstration was very popular. This man sheers them quickly and the sheep certainly don't seem to mind. There were all kinds of old time skills and crafts demonstrated...basket making, spinning, quilting, lampwork, blacksmithing, stained glass... there was even a pie contest. Yum! We set up a booth on the square to bring a little bit of the shop outside....here's our fancy sign! And a view into the booth about midway through the day....we had sold quite a bit by this time. A shopper finds a treasure.

Nice website. I am looking for old Hoosier Pride Feed/Seed cloth sacks. The will have the above name on it with the surname Gutwein and town and state of, Francesville, Indiana. I am also looking for a chicken feeder with the same name. Like for both to be in good condition. Any help as to where to search on internet would be great or if you ever come across one keep me in mind.
