Some of our craftsmen (and women) have
been at it all their lives, they were born into
it from the beginning. Many are second,
third and even fourth generation artisans.
They make their living the same way our
pioneers did as the United States was
developing way back in the 1760's & 70's,
why old Ben Franklin and Tom Jefferson
would be proud! Yes, everything you'll see
at our Craft Show is handmade right here
in the United States of America.
