SUGAR GROVE — The PA Wilds Makers Market will be held online Oct. 24 and 25.
This online shopping experience is designed to help you ‘find your next WILD thing,’ specifically handcrafted products and services in the Pennsylvania Wilds.
Businesses and organizations in the Wilds Cooperative of PA — a network of rural entrepreneurs from across the Pennsylvania Wilds — will be participating in an online show throughout Saturday and Sunday, October 24-25. The artisans and entrepreneurs will share demonstrations, tours and information on their handcrafted products live between noon and 4 p.m. both days.
“We held our first-ever virtual PA Wilds Makers Market in July on Facebook and had such positive reviews from both members of the WCO and the public who participated that we wanted to offer another online sales opportunity in the fall,” said Abbi Peters, EVP of Operations at the PA Wilds Center for Entrepreneurship Inc. “COVID-19 has had a significant impact on artisan events, the travel industry, and so many small businesses. We hope these events help our rural creative entrepreneurs find new markets.”
Participating businesses include Blackberry & Sage Market, Conklin Studio Pottery, Ellen Paquette Art, Frog Dog Slabs, Lucky Shot Photography, Moments in Time Studio, Moore Brush Strokes, PA Made LLC, Paul Family Farms, Rock Solid Designs and Stephanie Distler Artisan Jewelry.
