Strangelight DIY Fair Buttons Up

Strangelight features vendors and a Busy Beaver Button-O-matic

Join the DIY storefront Strangelight on Saturday, June 26 for a fair featuring more than forty Chicago record labels, zines, crafters, and one local button company.

Local musicians Matt Harmon and his brother John from band Cloud Mouth organize shows and cool events like this fair at Strangelight.  Each vendor chooses a non-profit to donate a percentage of profit to, and Busy Beaver Button Co. is contributing proceeds from the Button-O-matic to the Chicago Zine Fest.

It’s free from 1 to 5PM, and right next door to the Congress Theater on 2123 N Milwaukee in Chicago.  Click here to read the Chicago Reader feature about Strangelight!  And click here for the official Facebook invite.  As always, click here to visit Busy Beaver Button Co. to order buttons for your next event.
