The Great Gulf Coast Arts Festival


We really love the Great Gulf Coast Arts Festival for a number of reasons:
This is our only show which allows us to come to the beach!! We love the Pensacola area, the beaches, and the friendly people! The outstanding artists and artisans at this show make it a hit with show people and visitors alike. The food is awesome and the entertainment is top notch! And it's so much warmer than November in Iowa!
The director of the Heritage Arts at GGAF is a TRUE Southern lady, gracious and caring. She treats us all like welcome guests and makes every effort to make us all feel at home. Thank you, Paula Lou, for all you do!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks also to all our customers!!!!

Friday at Pensacola





What a beautiful day at the Great Gulf Coast Art Festival! We were happy to see our loyal customers as well as meet new friends!

Deutsch Country Days


Our booth at Deutsch Country Days is in the Schwoppe Barn at the top of the hill!
:-)









Deutsch Country Days was a lot of fun, as usual. This is such a unique show and is a visual delight. Two of our fellow artisans are pictured in this post.

Old Threshers



Old Threshers was quite successful for us this year! We appreciate all our loyal customers!
We enjoyed having our grandson, JT , with us!









Of course, it was the first Old Threshers without Great Grandpa Weyer and he was missed by all of the family as well as by the many friends he made throughout the years at Midwest Old Threshers and Settlers in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.

MidWest Art Fest

John was once again a featured Iowa Artist at the MidWest Art Fest in Des Moines, Iowa in late June.
The Midwest Art Fest is held in the Varied Industries Building at the Iowa State Fair grounds in Des Moines. We enjoy doing a late June show in an air-conditioned building. We don't do many indoor shows but this is an exception because of the value Sue Stookey puts on demonstrating craftsmen. There are hundreds of outstanding artists and artisans at this show and the regular fair concessions are open. Yum! How about a bucket of cookies!!??!!
Obviously, there are fun activities for kids, also, like face-painting.
Thanks, Sue Stookey, for all your hard work!!!!!!!!!!
