“When COVID hit last year we launched our first outdoor show at the Emerald Event Center and it was a huge hit! Normally we host just our two indoor events inside the center, but we wanted to offer an opportunity for vendors and shoppers to still get the same experience but in an open space during the pandemic. Since then, we have now made it an official part of our show line and look forward to bringing more amazing talent this year with 30 handpicked vendors that are all local and handmade,” said Becki Silverstein, the show’s founder.

A food truck will also be at the event to feed hungry shoppers.
