I have made the difficult decision to have this year be my last year to do vendor shows. Once I hit 50 my body decided it was going to start going downhill. I'm now on medication that tells me to avoid direct sunlight and I get heat exhaustion so easy. This was a hard decision for me to make because I really enjoy doing these shows and meeting all my amazing customers. I have made so many new friendships at the shows. The shows I have already committed to for this year are this weekend at Bridgeway Community Church, June 12th at Tremont Turkey festival, and Marigold Festival in September. I have not committed yet to Spoon River Drive but I may end up doing it for it to be my final farewell. And also to help get rid of a lot of my Halloween and Christmas overstock that I have. I do have a booth at Generationz Store in Pekin and I am looking to find a few other stores to get into in Peoria and the surrounding area. I will continue to keep my booths at any stores well stocked and will continue to make some new things also. I have so many new bow ideas that I need to get made.
