  • "Being a part of the Fair was a privilege and an honor. This was a curated fair that highlighted artisans with a deep care for their work. Unlike other fairs I have been a part of that were focused on filling spots and making money. There was more at work here and THAT energy made it as successful as it was. Like attracts like. I was lucky to meet incredibly kind people and wish the organization and all those that brought it to life all the very best"
