Rustic Fox & Artisan Market

The Rustic Fox, a boutique marketplace located in North Aurora, recently had their monthly outdoor event that is held the first weekend of each month. August’s farmers and artisan market took place on Saturday, August 7, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. According to their Facebook page, customers were able to “stop in the store and shop over 150 indoor vendors offering furniture, decor, clothing, jewelry, handmade, vintage antiques…and 80 vendors outside.”
