                                                             second annual Santa’s Mistletoe Market will be making its triumphant return to
                                                    the Hampshire area in 2018. This will be a wonderful day full of seasonal fun that is sure
                                                    to get everyone in the holiday spirit!
                                                    Sponsored by the Hampshire Area Chamber of Commerce, Santa’s Mistletoe Market
                                                    debuted in 2017 and greatly exceeded all expectations. The event was a huge success
                                                    with over 1,000 people attending, and garnered great reviews from the community. This
                                                    year’s market will be much the same, repeating the one-day event format. The event is
                                                    slated for the first weekend in December.
                                                    The market hopes to meet and exceed last year’s number of over 100 craft and direct
                                                    sellers, with many great gifts, art, and hand-crafted items available for purchase. Food
                                                    vendors will also be on hand, along with kids’ games, photos with Santa Claus, and much
                                                    more. For more holiday cheer, Musical Owl, a popular music school in Hampshire, will
                                                    return to provide live music and entertainment throughout the day.
                                                    Complementing the craft and food vendors, there will be opportunities for businesses and
                                                    organizations to set up individual displays. Each participating business will also provide a
                                                    kids’ game or activity. Letters to Santa, letters to troops overseas, custom hot chocolate
                                                    stands, holiday coloring and crafts were among the highlights in 2017. This year, we look
                                                    forward to these, and even more creative ideas, for kids and families to enjoy.
                                                    Santa’s Mistletoe Market will again take place at Hampshire Middle School, located at
                                                    560 S. State Street in Hampshire.

Burlington
                                           T   he Village of Burlington was incorporated in 1906 and is a Village with
                                               a strong sense of community. Burlington marked its beginnings with a
                                               tavern in 1840, a post office in 1846, a general store in 1847 and finally
                                           incorporated in 1906. On the growth horizon are many opportunities for
                                           Burlington. Burlington is a quaint, rural community interested in economic
                                           development and has a positive image for growth while maintaining the “small-
                                           town” character. Home of 26 businesses and 618 residents.
                                           The Village has progressed with the alignment of Plank Rd and our first stop
                                           light, the resurfacing of Main Street, and total reconditioning of the water
                                           tower are three of the main improvements to the Village in preparation for
                                           all potential growth. Growth is imminent; the Village of Burlington is looking
                                           forward to those opportunities to expand while maintaining its “small-town’
                                           character.

                                                                      Elected Village Officials:

                                                      Nestled away just off Route 72 near I-90, Route 20 and Route 47 sits the beautiful Tuscany

                                                      plenty of space and comfort without sacrificing any modern style elements. The

                                                      the dynamic, ongoing growth and development of the entire Hampshire area. Unit one is

                                                      In addition to the great design and value of the homes themselves, residents and visitors

                                          Originally known as Henpeck, the Village of Hampshire began when Zenas Allen of
                                          Vermont became its first settler in 1836. From 1837 to 1845 Henpeck existed along
                                          the Chicago – Galena Stagecoach Trial at Old State (Route 20), Big Timber, and Brier
                                          Hill Roads. Hampshire Township was organized in 1845, and the village’s name was
                                          changed to Hampshire. In 1876, the village relocated so that it could be along the
                                          line. Hampshire was officially incorporated that same year with Samuel Rowell as its
                                          first village president. In 1893, the farming community grew to become the second
                                          largest milk – producing and shipping station in Illinois. Residents have served in
                                          the Civil War, and during World War II, Hampshire was chosen for a prisoner of war
                                          camp for 250 German soldiers who worked at the Inderrieden Canning Company.

   HAMPSHIRE ROOTS RUN THREE GENERATIONS DEEP

          ifelong Hampshire resident Les Petersen’s roots run deep in the area. Born and
          raised here, Les is the owner of Petersen Fuels, and is proud to be one of four
generations of Petersens doing business in the community. The evolution of the Petersen
family’s businesses mirrors the growth and change of Hampshire itself, from farm town to a
growing community, attracting new families who want access to Chicago and the booming
Fox Valley suburbs, while still enjoying the fresh air, open space and friendly, small-town
atmosphere.
Through it all, the Petersen family has been there.
Les’ great-grandfather, Fred Petersen, a German immigrant, opened a meat market in
Burlington in the 1920s. Fred’s son, Fredrick Christian Petersen, moved to Hampshire and
sold insurance. F.C. and his wife, Helen “May” Petersen, had a son, Maynard. Maynard
enjoyed repairing radios, and after graduating from Hampshire High School, became an
electrician, first for a local canning company, then for residences and farms that were first
installing lights. That led to a job selling electrical pumps to farms that were moving away
from hand-pumped wells. As more farms around Hampshire embraced modern technology,
Maynard saw an opportunity and, in 1945, started the Petersen Propane Company.
As young men returned from the war to their family farms, Petersen Propane grew at a
steady pace. By the mid-1950s Maynard saw another opportunity and decided to expand
into the fertilizer business. In 1955, he began supplying farmers with anhydrous ammonia
82% nitrogen fertilizer. In 1960, he added dry farm fertilizer, and in 1961, he added tank
wagon delivery of refined fuels and heating oil.
As the business grew, so did the Petersen family.
Maynard and his wife Genevieve had two children, Les and Melanie. Les, born in 1944,
inherited a love of working on cars from his father. “As a teenager, I wanted to be a junk
man. I liked to buy old cars and scrap them,” he said. “We had room for this work and the
necessary tools because of being in the propane business, and I was always interested in
anything automotive.”

       to behold. Various planning stages were completed prior to the step-by-step
       construction and development. Work will be finished in time to celebrate
       the 70th anniversary of the park in 2018.
       Several initiatives were launched to help support the extensive renovations.

       proud recipient of a sizeable OSLAD (Open Space and Land Acquisition and
       Development) grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources in
       2016. In addition, the Kane County Riverboat grant and other investments
       for equipment and services amounted to over $850,000 being put toward

Pingree Grove
       T       he Village of Pingree Grove is growing! Nestled between routes 47,
             72 and 20, the Village of Pingree Grove has expanded from a quaint
           little hamlet of 50 homes to a bustling community of over 3,000 homes!
       For the past four years, we have issued an average of 295 new residential
       construction permits per year, and the outlook for continued growth remains
       high for years to come. Population estimates for cities and towns provided
       by the U.S. Census Bureau indicate the Village of Pingree Grove has seen a
       population growth of over 60% since the 2010 Census when our population
       was 4,532. With a current estimated population nearing 7,500, we are
       looking to expand our commercial and industrial base to provide jobs,
       needed services, and local revenue to our community.
       To spur this growth, the Village will be constructing a new Municipal Center
       at the west intersection of Reinking Rd and Highland Ave. This center will
       be home to the administrative offices and meeting rooms of Village Hall, the
       Building Department, and the Public Works Department. Plans are set to
       break ground in summer, 2018 with an anticipated move-in date by March,
       2019. We are very excited about this new building and hope it will be a
       symbol of pride and accomplishment for our residents as well.
       With the help of many volunteers, our newly redesigned website, and other
       social media outlets, Pingree Grove wants the world to know we are a great
       place to grow a business, a family, and a community.

         For all inquiries: Contact the Village Hall at 847-464-5533.
