2024 Grabill Country Fair Cancelled

The 2023 Grabill Country Fair has been cancelled due to road work. This was a large multi-day event I was to take part in. While this is unfortunate for me and the other vendors, it is even more so for those who live in the area and depend on the road for their everyday means. Hopefully, the work can get back on track quickly for the residence of Grabill.

I have linked the article from our local news outlet for more information.

Summer is here!

The season of summer is here! As the sun’s warmth envelops us and beckons with open arms. It’s a season of joy, adventure, and community connections. Let’s explore why local festivals, fairs, and farm markets deserve a special place in your heart:

  1. Escape from Routine: These events transport you beyond the mundane. Step away from daily life and immerse yourself in the colorful tapestry of community celebrations.
  2. Culinary Delights: From farm-fresh produce to delectable treats, these gatherings tantalize your taste buds. Savor homemade pies, artisanal cheeses, and juicy fruits straight from the orchard.
  3. Meet Artisans and Creators: Wander through stalls adorned with handmade crafts, unique jewelry, and captivating art. Engage with passionate creators who infuse their work with love and creativity.
  4. Celebrate Seasons: Each festival and market reflects the changing seasons. Spring blooms, summer harvests, and fall festivities—experience the rhythm of nature.
  5. Support Local Economy: By participating, you bolster local businesses, farmers, and artists. Your presence contributes to the vibrancy of your community.

So, embrace the sun-kissed days, explore the stalls, and create memories at these delightful gatherings.

DIY Character Displays

Molly and Sophie Displays

See how I created these character displays to go in front of my vendor booth.

These character displays were easy to make and have stood up to wind, rain and sun. I used insulation board, 18-gauge aluminum rods, acrylic paint and a UV resistant spray sealer. The overall project took 3 days but could be done in 2. Enjoy!

Vendor Season

Hello everyone!
What I have is my first iteration of the vendor booth I am taking out to the various events this summer. I like it as a start but will continue to play with the layout as I learn what is working and what is not. Also, over the next couple of weeks I am going to post how-to videos on things I made for the booth.
Until next time!
Have a great day!
