We are 10 days away from our Harvest Craft Fair! We are so excited to introduce Wicka Candle Company as a brand-new vendor this season. We love the look and smell of these candles, which are hand poured and pet friendly. Also, profits go towards a great cause! Purchase a Wicka Candle and you will be lending a helping hand to local animal shelters. Providing food, collars, blankets and more to animals in need. 🔥🐾

Make sure you join us September 12 (10am-4pm) & 13 (10am-3pm) for a fun weekend of local vendors, live music, delicious food, petting zoo, sheep shearing, and hands on activities. We will be here rain or shine! 🌦️
