Advertureland Craft Show this Weekend

This weekend we’ll be attending the Advertureland craft show in Altoona, Iowa. We’ve been at this show before, tucked away in the hallway last spring. Even though this craft show has been going for years and we attended last spring, this will be our first October show at this particular place. We are really hoping for a great turn out and strong sales!

We know from experience there are several other candle makers attending this show. What makes us different? We don’t use dyes. Many of our customers have told us they think it’s wonderful we don’t use dyes in our candles, and have made several purchases. On the other hand though, there have been other customers who question it. We realise there is a market for both colored candles and candles without dyes, which is why seeing ‘competition’ doesn’t bother us in the least.

If you are in central Iowa and love craft shows, you are more than likely to see us within the next few weeks. This weekend is Adventureland, next week is Mingo. November we are completely booked every weekend. In November, we’ll start with “Girl’s Night Out” at DMACC in Newton. Next will be Pella High School in Pella, followed by Four Mile Elementary (my old elementary school, just outside of Pleasanthill). Finally we’ll end our shows in November on Thanksgiving weekend at Adventureland again.

Planning to be at one of these shows and want something specific? Let us know and we’ll be sure to have it on hand. You can pick it up at the show! See all our candles at:
