More info for August 11th + more info...

When I posted Friday, I should have mentioned that along with Rummage-Rama here in Winter on Saturday, August 11th, there is also the Ojibwa canoe race and related activities (food, beer, etc.), and there will be an ATV pull in the area.

Be watching for the Cumberland, Wisconsin Rutabaga Festival later in August.

Saturday & Sunday, Sept. 1 & 2 will be the Port Wing, Wisconsin Fish Boil (yum, yum) craft show.

Later in September we'll be at the Fall Festival in Hayward, Wisconsin.

We probably won't be at the fall show at Superior Dome in Marquette, Michigan this year, but be watching for their Christmas show the first part of December.

Probably the last weekend in September will be the craft show and free admission day at Copper Falls State Park by Mellen, Wisconsin.

The first Saturday in October is the Stone Lake (Wisconsin) Cranberry Festival.

And many more.......

Exciting shop news!

Next week we will be opening another 1200+ square feet of display space in the shop, with more arts & crafts, at least one more antique dealer with an 10' x 12' booth, an expanded selection of tee shirts, and more.

This Saturday (May 26th) is of course Winter's annual Spring Fling celebration, featuring: A large and high quality arts & crafts show with 60+ vendors; food booths; kids' games; a flea market area; live music; the fabulous Rhubarb Fest bake sale, and rhubarb pie baking contest; specials at village and area businesses; and much more!!

Montello Daze - May 5th

On Saturday, May 5th I'll be set up at the craft show in Montello, Wisconsin (which is northeast of Portage), at the "Montello Daze" celebration. We normally go to the craft show at the Catholic Church in Montello on the Saturday before the Fourth of July, the one at Winnequah Park in Monona on the Fourth, and sometimes the August show in Montello and the November show in Brodhead. This year, however, we probably won't be able to make it to any of these, and Montello Daze on May 5th may be our only show in southern Wisconsin for the whole year. If you can't make it to this one, you can call or write at any time. Plus, keep checking this blog for schedule updates and changes.

Friday, Saturday & Sunday, May 11th, 12th & 13th we'll be at the WLUC-TV6 Mother's Day craft show in the Superior Dome in Marquette, Michigan.

More later...

Election results, and more

Hey everybody,

I won a seat on the Village of Winter Board of Trustees in yesterday's election. Here's hoping I can make a difference.

Last Saturday at the Farm & Garden show in Ashland was a pretty good day, and the breakfast was really good.

This Saturday (April 7th) I'll be at the craft show/ Easter egg hunt at the school in Bruce, Wisconsin (west of Ladysmith on HWY 8).

All of our U.P. friends should be looking forward to the Marquette show on May 11th, 12th, 13th - we'll be there.

I'll update again when we firm up more of our show schedule.

Spring is here!!!

Well, here it is Tuesday, March 27th. I've been trying to do this since Friday - it has taken me 5 days to get into the new and improved "Blogger". I'M SO HAPPY THEY SWITCHED!!!!!

Anyway, we probably won't be at a show this coming weekend, but check out the Farm & Garden show at the Civic Center in Ashland, Wisconsin on Saturday (March 31st) - some of our crafting friends will be set up there, and we may still call to see if we can get in.

Saturday, April 7th we'll be at a craft show at the school in Bruce, Wisconsin (on HWY 8 west of Ladysmith).

The following weekend we don't have anything as yet. The craft show at the ice arena in Medford, Wisconsin is on Sunday, April 15th, but we won't be there this year.

Saturday, April 21st we will be at the spring craft show in Ironwood, Michigan, at the Pat O'Donnell Civic Center on Jackson Road. Don't miss this one!

That's all for now, except we are open in the new shop here in Winter, Wisconsin, from 10am to 4pm on Tuesday thru Saturday, and we'll be going to seven days a week about May 1st.

Happy shopping in 2007!!!

ANTIQUE SHOW

This weekend (October 21st and 22nd) is the fall antique show at Rice Lake Cedar Mall in Rice Lake, Wisconsin. We'll be there, along with all the other great dealers, and we've gotten in some really neat things -- you'll just have to come and see for yourselves!

The following weekend (October 28th and 29th) we don't have anything scheduled (PARTY TIME, A WEEKEND OFF!!!) We're planning to go to Marquette, Michigan for the "Rocky Horror Show" at the Historic Vista Theatre in downtown Negaunee.

Saturday, November 4th is right back into the grind again, though. Two Arts & Crafts shows; one in New Auburn, Wisconsin, and the other in Ashland, Wisconsin.......

This past weekend, the Bessemer, Michigan Pumpkin fest, the Medford, Wisconsin Ice Arena Craft show, and the consignment auction at Brodhead, Wisconsin, all went really well. A very tiring weekend for all of us, but a good one.

I'll be on to update the schedule again next week.

LAST OUTDOOR SHOW OF THE YEAR IS OVER!!

Yesterday was a beautiful day for the first Saturday in October, which is always the Cranberry Festival in Stone Lake, Wisconsin. It was windy, though. But from now on we'll be at indoor shows through December 16th, and who knows what the new year will bring?

Speaking of Stone Lake, it was a very good show as always. Bruce from Last Frontier Antiques, and the rest of the organizers do a fantastic job!

Stone Lake Cranberry Festival - Tomorrow

Saturday, October 7th is the Stone Lake Cranberry Festival in Stone Lake, Wisconsin. Stone Lake is located on HWY 70 about ten miles south of Hayward. I think we've done this show all but one year starting in 1987, making this our 19th time. This is always our busiest one day show of the year, and sometimes our busiest overall. With about 300 Art & Craft vendors, plus flea market, farm produce, food, and don't forget CRANBERRIES, it is well worth braving the crowd. We are in booth #44 on Frost Street, right across from the Lion's Hall.

In addition to cardinals, Lisa has done these cute little sleds with snowmen, but we only have a few of them.

And, this past week I've been stocking up on my shotshell garlands (plus some with nuts for the less hunting inclined), after selling out of them last weekend at Copper Falls and Wisconsin Rapids.

And remember, if you don't want to brave the Cranberry Fest crowd tomorrow, the following Saturday (October 14th), Lisa will be set up indoors at the Pumpkin Festival in Bessemer, Michigan (on US HWY 2, just east of Hurley WI/IronwoodMI).
