In the Beginning
Forty-three years ago, a few friends got together for dinner. The conversation eventually turned to the subject of crafts and everyone agreed that what our area needed was a high quality craft show. In the mid to late 70's, there weren't many shows of this nature in existence.
Long story short - we decided that the time was right! It was this country's Bicentennial and this had created a great renewed interest in American made handcrafts from a bygone era. Seeking the joys of simpler times, amid the huge technological strides that were being made in the U.S. at the same time, seemed to be a parallel quest.
This decision - to put together the first Wild Wind show, was to be the beginning of a long lasting friendship and business partnership and the seeds were sown for what has grown over the years into the nationally recognized and highly respected Wild Wind Folk Art & Craft Festival.
Wild Wind's 43 year history is one filled with a great deal of dedication, a lot of hard work with a large dosage of fun! Plus, we have been privileged to become acquainted with hundreds of talented craftsmen
We invite you to participate in this unique festival, to be held Sat., Sept. 9th and Sun., Sept. 10th, 2023, whether as an exhibitor or a visitor, and let us help your creative spirit take flight!
