Vendor Profile: Town Hall Trinkets, LLC - Jacky Luetschwager

This is my booth - I don't have a number, but my booth is on the tree side of the Mountain Bay Trail parking lot. - look for me on that end.   Those who know me, know I tend to work best under pressure.  My trailer is loaded, but I am still "creating" stuff to add to it.  Here are a few pictures of what I will be bringing this year.  My booth is always has primitives and folk art. 

In addition to these items, my girls will be in a booth next to me with clothes, misc. craft (older) items, my clearance items and some house hold misc.  Justine is also making some neat headbands.  You can see them at her blog:  http://justine-obsessivecreativedisorder.blogspot.com/. 

Advertising for Popplewood 4-H 15th Annual Ringle Harvest Day

Needless to say - if you want people to support your event - you must advertise.  A friend of mine once told me, "it doesn't cost to advertise, it PAYS to advertise."   I appreciate all of the publications that I place these ads in - they usually give me some kind of a non-profit "break."  We invest all of the vendor monies into the costs of this event - including advertising.  Here a few pictures of some of our ads; City Pages (Wausau), Your Community Shopper (Wittenberg), Families First (north central Wisconsin) and Marathon County Buyer's Guide (and surrounding areas):

Thanks!

Vendor Profile: Leona Davidowski - Leona's Country Kitchen

Leona Davidowski - Leona's Country Kitchen will be located next to the Popplewood 4-H food booth.   So, we call her Grandma Davidowski, we first met Leona when her grandson Dustin was in kindergarten with our daughter Justine.  They both are now 19.  A fond memory my kids have of Leona is that she use to have a rummage sale almost every year when they were little.  When you would stop at her sale - she would invite you in and feed you.  She makes REALLY good chicken soup - you know the old fashioned way, that only a Polish Grandma can make, homemade bread and butter and cookies.  Her "homestead" was on the corner of Club House and River Roads.  I use to pass her place twice a day every day in the school year taking my girls to Riverside Elementary.  Talk about a garden!  She use to have one of the best gardens (next to my Dad's) that I knew of - hours and hours of work - she would always wave from her garden as you drove bye.  Leona sells her homemade breads and canned goods.  She does this to raise money for local charities (Heart of Gold) last year it was the Wausau Women's Community.  Here is newspaper picture from last year.
