Vendor Spotlight

Bob JensenGeorge Scott 

 

Bob Jensen and George Scott have been turning wood into beautiful things for over 30 years and they have been mainstays this year on Sundays in the Craftsmen Corner section of our Market. They will tell you they specialize in things that please them to make, and if others happen to want them, too, then that's a bonus.  They have their work in five galleries and stores but say they love being here at the Annex the most.  We can't have 'favorite' vendors anymore than a parent can have a favorite child, but I can say they're my favorite woodworkers!  Fun to visit and tease, that's my Bob and George.     

 Elephant

 

Isn't he cute?!?  And yes, it's an elephant!   

 

We made these potato people as part of our kids activities this past weekend for Health Day.  It doesn't really matter what "Day" we're doing anymore, my focus is making this the best, most fun place for your KIDS!

 

This Sunday is Green Day and we'll have some hands-on activities for the kids as well as a craft using recycled materials, and next Sunday the 25th is our next big Kids Day.

 

Can't say it enough:    Like us on Facebook
