A Bloomingdale woman s initiative to help small businesses during the pandemic has grown into a free monthly event that draws dozens of vendors and hundreds of visitors.
The Maker s Market s next date is July 25 at the Old Town parking lot at Schick Road and 3rd Street, where it moved after outgrowing the parking lot of Delish Cakes. Admission is free.
Delish Cakes owner Alicia Eisenmann created the market last year because she wanted to help her friends and community members who own small businesses find a way to safely sell products they created amid the pandemic.
Coladipietro said it wasn’t the village’s intent to revoke the license, “but the concerns and lack of response by the owner which eventually led to the tragic February incident left the Village with no alternative.”
“The Village is eager to start a new chapter at Indian Lakes and reimagine the property for a better future that will make the community proud,” Coladipietro said in the statement.
A Chicago man was killed and five others wounded in the shooting, which broke out during an argument in a hallway of the hotel.
Following the attack, Colladipietro said there were no security guards on duty and that officials had expressed concern for years about a lack of security at the hotel.
The owners of a hotel in northwest suburban Bloomingdale agreed to close their business after a February shooting left one person dead and six others hurt.

Bloomingdale officials have postponed a public hearing on whether to revoke the business license of a hotel where one person was fatally shot and five others wounded earlier this month.
The village agreed to push back the hearing to March 16, after the owners of the Indian Lakes Hotel asked for an extension. The meeting was originally scheduled for next week.
Indian Lakes will be required to remain closed until the hearing, Village President Franco Coladipietro said Friday.
