If you missed it, the small town of Racine, Wisconsin hosted a winter sculpting festival that yielded big beautiful sculptures of ice. The one day event on January 10, 2010, consisted of a mid-day stroll though downtown that  included access to stores, galleries, and restaurants while the commotion of ice-sculpting entertains the people and visitors of Racine.

This third annual event yielded thirteen giant blocks of ice that were beautifully sculpted by hand by professional ice sculpting artists. The area of 6th Street, Main Street and Monument Square will display the mighty ice sculptures  “as long as mother nature allows”. The downtown event was sponsored by local merchants, this is the true nature of Racine. The community in this gorgeous town on the lake will blow you away. As long as you have your Ear Mitts® and Snuggler Scarf™, you can stand the weather for the moments of merriment.

Fran’s Microfiber & Ear Mitts ®

Fran’s Microfiber & More is a nationwide distributor of microfiber items that are considered state-of-the-art technology which provide a safe and chemical-free, hypoallergenic solution to all cleaning needs and personal use.  Ear Mitts ® Bandless Ear Muffs are among the items that Fran’s Microfiber sells online as well as  in craft and trade shows. The use of 100 GM Thinsulate™ Insulation with recycled fibers from 3M  make Ear Mitts ® an ideal item to be sold with Fran’s microfiber goods that range in use and versatility.

This year Fran’s Microfiber sold Ear Mitts ® in The 8th Annual Tinsel and Treasure shopping extravaganza. This event is an annual fund-raiser put on by the Junior League of Knoxville. The Junior League is an organization devoted to the improvement of community and volunteerism among women.

Tinsel and Treasure was held October 23rd – 25th, 2009 at the Knoxville Expo Center in Knoxville, Tennessee. The sale of jewelry, food gifts, art, toys, garden tools, home decor and other fine gifts made Tinsel and Treasure quite an exciting shopping experience. Fran Houser of Fran’s Microfiber exclaimed how she had great success with her booth and with sales of Ear Mitts ®. We look forward to seeing her there again next year.

Another show Fran’s Microfiber exhibited at the 27th Annual Christmas Fair which was also held at the Expo Center in Knoxville, Tennessee. This year’s event took place on November 13th and 14th, 2009. The Annual Christmas Fair featured a great spread of crafts and gift items.

Fran’s Microfiber experienced success once again despite having to fight for buyers. The trend in most craft shows this season consist of high spirits with tight spenders.

So be sure and keep an eye out for Fran’s Microfiber the next time you find yourself rummaging around craft shows in eastern Tennessee. You just may run into some soft, fuzzy, functional items that will sweep you away.
