There’s a Formula to Saline Craft Show Success and Community Value

March 29, 2018

Now almost two weeks after the Saline Craft Shows spring event, the time seems right to reflect back on what these attractions mean to our local community. Not just this year, but as a culmination of more than three decades. [1] The origin seems straightforward enough. As described on the organizer website, the “first show was held on November 14, 1987, with 66 craft booths and about 900 shoppers.” Ten years later, the number of ....
