ROCHELLE — The Illinois Office of Tourism has announced 31 new small businesses, or ‘makers,’ have been recognized by the Illinois Made program — one from Rochelle and one from Oregon making the list.
Illinois Made inspires locals and visitors to discover hidden gems offering unique products, stories and experiences all around the state. From locally sourced honey producers, to a tattoo art gallery, candlemakers, and jewelry creators - each of the small businesses recognized provide one-of-a-kind experiences across Illinois.
“I’m very proud that both the Village Bakery in Oregon and Kennay Farms Distilling in Rochelle have been honored with the Illinois Made designation,” said Blackhawk Waterways Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Diane Bausman. “This is a big honor and recognizes the hard work, dedication and versatility both businesses have shown during these tough times.”
