Goal for 2018...More Contestants!
Our Artists, Crafters, and Vendors are the BEST!
Not only do they agree to be called "Mermaids,"
but they pack up their Treasures
and set up great displays on selected Saturdays
at the park from October thru April each year.
We certainly appreciate their cooperation!
