What's Happening in Westlake, OH…

People who are looking for something special to do, or to purchase, for Valentine's Day will have a chance to go shopping soon.

Hometown Vendors, LLC, is presenting its 4th Annual Cupid's Crush Craft & Vendor Show. The show will feature small business owners from the area, as well as local artists and craftspeople. Shows like this allow shoppers to find one-of-a-kind items that are handmade. Among the products available from the more than 40 partaking vendors are make-up, clothing, home décor, candles, and jewelry, as well as products for cooking, wellness, and health. Shoppers will be admitted without charge, and everyone will be required to wear a mask at all times.

Hometown Vendors is a small company that was founded in 2015 by Sarah Wilhelm and Jennifer Mash-Skala. At first, they helped organize and host craft shows for fun, but then transitioned it into a full-time business to help promote the many beautiful products that are made by local artists and entrepreneurs. They enjoy learning about businesses and helping them succeed.

The craft show will be held February 13 at the 8820 Event Center, located at 8820 Bender Road in North Ridgeville, a short distance from North Olmsted. The hours are 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. Flyer printing can be used to create handouts for shoppers at events like this, listing vendors and where they are located.
