Stinkin Cute Trees
Cloud Productions welcomes first-time Christmas in October vendors Lynn and Kerry Davidson, owners of Stinkin Cute Trees and their important family member Ruby AKA The Rube, all the way from the little township of Potter, PA in the Beaver Valley.
Lynn and Kerry Davidson created a new Christmas fad 5 years ago on a whim that they can hardly keep up with the demand! Stinkin Cute Trees made from old antique doors in all shapes and sizes plus Lynn also takes old quilts and gives them new life by making tabletop trees for the holidays. They offer 2 ft. “Little Stinkers” to their best-selling 6-8 ft. “Tall Skinnies''; each is handcrafted for indoor or outdoor display. With no two alike they make the perfect decoration for all seasons.
This lovable couple truly loves what they do and when you visit their booth in Building FB, Booths 5 & 6, the first thing you will see is a sign that says, “Made By 2 Old People and A Dog”. This threesome came to be a few years ago when husband Kerry got what he always wanted when wife Lynn gave into adding a 4-legged family member after seeing a post from Paws Across Pittsburgh of the cutest pup. They brought the shy pup home, introduced her to grass and the sun and named her Ruby and call her “The Rube”… unsophisticated like a hillbilly, straightforward like a lovable pet and a little naïve like a toddler but she puts a smile on everyone’s face from the UPS driver when she jumps in his truck to greeting folks at the front door. “The Rube” is the final piece to Stinkin Cute Trees that makes this business a fun loving and unique business.
Everyone loves to add something special to their home décor and these old doors tell a story to anyone who buys one or sees one during the holiday season. They are colorful, natural, tall, short, plump, and thin. Each tree is distressed, mounted on hand-crafted bases, and adorned with authentic hardware, doorknobs, and decorative hooks, perfect for hanging wreaths, signs, etc. Be sure to stop by early for the best selection of these one of a kind Stinkin Cute Trees!

Kristan’s business started in 2008 as KASL Kreations and has now become Kristan Lantosh Boutique. You’ll find handcrafted necklaces, bracelets, earrings, anklets, wire wrapped cabochons, Celtic sterling silver jewelry, brooches, and Boho clothing at Kristan Lantosh Boutique.

Lavishly decorated booths will invite you to come in, enjoy speaking with the artist or craft person and leave with the perfect one of a kind gift. What could make a more personal Christmas gift than something created with pride of workmanship and quality materials! Each exhibitor's booth will be their own shop on the streets of 'Sugar Plum Holiday Market'. We will have gourmet gift foods, along with a sprinkling of boutiques, vintage and antiques. And Mrs Claus has requested some of her favorite upscale consultants, who will be on Cranberry Court.
Spaces bursting with home and garden decor, jewelry, bath and beauty products, textile crafts, and items repurposed and refashioned will tempt you.

Mike finds painting and drawing simultaneously relaxing, challenging, and enjoyable. His art style is mostly realistic, and his ideas come from everyday things he sees and photos he takes. Mike has drawn and/or painted portraits, landscapes, cars, planes, pets, and more, and truly enjoys all of it. He also enjoys the challenge of plein air painting and life drawings. While primarily using oils and graphite, Mike has also used colored pencils, chaulk pastels, ink, acrylics, and charcoal. Most recently he has added silk floral arrangements to use his artistic talents. Mike’s art experience consists of fine art exhibitions, arts and crafts shows, and commission sales. He has received awards for his art and has displayed and sold pieces in a gallery. After a few years in Oklahoma, and many in Florida, this United States Air Force Veteran has returned to his native Ohio where he and his wife, semi-retired, plan to stay, as he continues to create and sell his art. Mike Fink Art is in Building G, Booth 8.

We know our dedicated customers also love coming to Christmas in October because of all the must have food options. It’s easy to justify stopping at 2 or 3 food trucks during the show because you are doing so much walking and lifting and carrying so many packages. We understand you have to keep your energy up plus if you bring the kiddos, sometimes they need a treat too.
We promise your options will be plenty and you might even see Santa or one of our Elf helpers in line with you getting a must have corndog, funnel cake, BBQ, kettle corn or a lemon shake up just to name a few. The lines might get long so strike up a conversation with a fellow shopper in line…. maybe they will tell you about a cool booth that you haven’t seen yet or point out the train rides for your kids to ride while you take a break and have a seat.
We are thankful for all our dedicated food trucks that come back every season to serve our customers. Scout/Troop 302, AJ’s Smokin BBQ, Lee’s Concessions, Hancock Co. Cattlemen’s Assoc, M&C Concessions, Gyro Corner, Sheppard Kettle Corn, and Rolling Pretzels.

Always in Memory of my dad DB...
Daniel Buser Jr.
The memories we’ve made over 35 years with tears and smiles
36 years ago, it all started in a little quaint town called Findlay, Ohio. Judy Cloud, a crafter and artist herself, always had a vision to promote crafts of distinction. In the beginning, there were 2 small kids, Danielle and Mac, and the help of her parents out east, Lainey and DB. It was truly a team that got Cloud Productions off the ground. Over the years the Findlay shows grew into annual events. The community loved the shows and people traveled from as far as Canada to shop.
Fast forward to 2023 and Cloud Productions has grown over the last 36 years to Dayton and Muncie, Indiana. The kids aren’t small anymore and have families of their own. Mac and Jillian have 2 little boys who are into everything sports just like their dad. Judy enjoys driving down to visit with them and play with the boys whenever she can. This year they are taking some family time to go back to Disney before football season gets too busy for Mac to referee.
Dani and Cliff have 2 girls and a boy who are growing up way too fast. Many of the vendors remember the girls when they were little at the shows helping. They are now all immersed in travel softball, school, and friends. Little Max is growing up and getting into soccer (Dad is coaching some for his team) and football and school as well. Just over a year ago the family grew a little with a French bulldog named
Moose. He fits right in and travels with the family everywhere and is the center of attention with the entire family.
Judy’s mom, Lainey celebrated her 90th birthday this summer out east with all the family. She was so surprised that her sisters from Florida and Pennsylvania, Bev and Collette, made it in for the big surprise and tears of love and joy were flowing by all. She misses coming back to Ohio to help the Cloud Productions shows but she calls all the time to get updates and share her ideas on how to make the show better. Lainey and DB raised all their kids around antique shows and flea markets which is probably where Judy’s true love for promoting craft shows came from.
As for Judy…well she has been keeping busy with promoting all the Cloud Productions shows, redecorating at the Mengert Family Farms homestead and visiting with family and friends. She knows Dean is looking down on her smiling on all she is achieving even though he can’t be by her side.

Kim Morse’s Mother taught her to crochet when she was five years old. And of course, it was BORING to Kim then.

Sixteen years ago was a terribly difficult time for Kim Perry as she dealt with selling the thriving ceramic business in Wadsworth, Ohio she had with her Mother when her Mother passed away. Things for Kim then changed for the better when her friend invited her to a quilting class, paying $85 and making four placemats. “I love it!” says Kim. In addition to the quilts, she also does embroidery. When in her studio, it’s common to find three of her seven machines going at one time, either sewing or embroidering!
