That uniqueness and dedication to quality is what they are known for and why they are so successful. When asked why Market Square? Greg states, “Because Market Square is nationally known and they get buyers from across the country. We feel we can address a broad base of stores,” Greg continues, “We can do one show by doing the best wholesale show in the country. This will be the only opportunity to buy wholesale and no orders will be taken.” Grateful for their success they want to thank their customers and also give new customers an opportunity to purchase their wares. Having stores from across the country purchase their product will bring their product into an area that they just couldn’t get to because of limited time.
Accolades as top traditional craftsmen.
The Shooners have been selected as one of American’s top traditional craftsmen for over 25 years by Early American Life magazine. Midwest Living magazine considered their work as “Best of the Midwest”.
There has been an ongoing of appreciation for the warmth and beauty of this forgotten folk art in the past forty years and the Shooners enjoy a unique space in this renaissance. Visit Market Square February 4-6 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center and you too can share in this exceptional piece of history.
