“Michael started Swisher Custom Cabinetry 30+ years ago after working as a finish carpenter installing stock cabinets and learning they were only built to last 7 years. He knew he could build a better product that would last a lifetime and be a good investment for his customers. That is exactly what he has done for 30+years. Mike has been married to Michelle for 40 years and they have 3 grown daughters & 2 grandchildren. Their Homestead has been in Michelle’s family for many years, the home was built in 1885 and the barn built in 1872. Unfortunately, the barn has fallen into disrepair and is beyond saving. This discovery was distressing to the family. The barn has stood for many years and the trees used to build it are much older than the barn. In an effort to allow this barn to live on in another way, Mike decided to try using a few of the boards to create furniture and a few small items. He built a Kiln to heat treat the lumber, removing moisture & any possible bugs living in the wood. He also researched the best coating products for the material etc. When you combine his 30+ years as a cabinet & fine furniture maker with his new ideas for the reclaimed lumber, it is easy to see why people love the products. This is very exciting to the Swisher Family since the barn will continue to live on for years to come as a part of someone else’s family. If you would like more information about the company, pick up a brochure at the Swisher’s booth, located in Building A, Booth 39.

Always in Memory of my dad DB...
Daniel Buser Jr.
Thirty-eight years ago, in the picturesque town of Findlay, Ohio, I, Judy Cloud, a dedicated crafter and artist, dreamed of creating exceptional craft shows. With the unwavering support of my family, including my two young children, Danielle and Mac, and my parents, Lainey and DB, Cloud Productions came to life. This family endeavor transformed the Findlay shows into cherished annual events, attracting visitors from as far away as Canada, Florida, Texas, and even California.
Since its inception in 1988, Cloud Productions has expanded to include shows in Muncie, Indiana, with the “Holiday Handcrafters’ Showcase and Marketplace” celebrating its 36th year. The company has also established two shows in Dayton, Ohio: the “Sweet Spring Marketplace,” now in its 7th year, and the “Mistletoe Magic Holiday Marketplace,” which is marking its 10th anniversary. The newest addition, debuting just last year, is the “Sugar Plum Holiday Market” in Wilmington, Ohio.
Over the years, I’ve had the joy of meeting so many incredible and talented exhibitors. Many of them come back year after year, and some even take the plunge to join us for new shows. Our amazing customers are the heart of it all, whether they follow us from show to show or make it a point to attend their favorite event every year. I strive to make each event a blast, a place where you can leave your worries behind and have a fantastic day with family and friends. Imagine shopping, savoring delicious food, and soaking in a wonderful atmosphere—it’s all about creating unforgettable memories together. And each show would not be complete without acknowledging my wonderful staff and friends, who are, without a doubt, the best and help bring each show to you.
Dani and Mac were practically born into the show circuit! They were my little helpers, always buzzing around, setting up booths, manning the “Enter to Win” station, and tackling paperwork like pros. They became mini-celebrities among the exhibitors, and our family updates became a show tradition. Fast forward to today, they’re all grown up with families of their own and jam-packed
schedules. Now, I get to share adorable photos of my grandkids and keep everyone in the loop about our latest family adventures!
Danielle and her husband Cliff have two wonderful daughters. Kenzie, who just attended her first homecoming, and Maddi, an outstanding softball pitcher. Both girls are incredibly talented in softball. Once little helpers at the shows, they are now busy with travel softball, school, and friends, but they still managed to help at last year’s Sugar Plum show. My grandson, Max, is enjoying football and scoring touchdowns! Despite their busy jobs, Dani and Cliff always make time to support all their activities. Recently, they traveled to California for Maddi’s softball tournament, where her team won a National Championship title.
Mac and his wife Jillian have two lively boys who share their dad’s passion for sports. I treasure my visits to play with my grandsons, Edison (4) and Harrison (2), and I look forward to seeing them as often as my schedule allows. Edison is the spitting image of his dad, and I often find myself chuckling when he behaves just like Mac did. Harrison has
just started preschool, where his big brother goes, and they both adore their dogs, Baiden and Ellie. Next on their agenda is a family trip on Mickey’s Boat in between Mac's busy football refereeing season kicks off.
This summer, my mom Lainey celebrated her 91st birthday surrounded by family and friends. I spent part of the summer out east with her, and she often reminisces about helping with the Cloud Productions shows in Ohio and how much she misses seeing everyone here. We stay connected through frequent calls, where she shares ideas to improve the events. We both talk about how much we miss my dad, DB, and her favorite son-inlaw, Dean, and the inspiration they were to our families.

Candi Davis fondly remembers the beginnings of Judy’s Pies. About 40 years ago, when her dad fell ill, her mom had to find a way to support the family. After a heartto-heart with Candi's grandma, they decided to start baking pies, and Judy’s Pies was born. Candi recalls the early days when her mom and grandma would deliver pies in baskets. The entire family pitched in at various times, especially during the holidays when the demand for pies skyrocketed. The home was filled with pies until they developed a more efficient system. These moments were filled with laughter, love, and cherished memories. Candi's dad played a crucial role, especially when it came to making cream pies, he would cook the pudding filling for her mom. Candi’s daughter introduced the family to craft shows, and her mom, who had since retired, found a new passion in participating in these events. Candi took over about eight years ago, and she and her mom have looked forward to each craft show ever since. They cherish the opportunity to see familiar faces from previous shows and meet new people. For Candi, it’s a very special time because she gets to share it with her mom, continuing the family tradition and creating new memories together. You can try Judy’s Pies for yourself! They are located in Building B, Booth 28.

A friendship forged in yarn! Two Ole’ Cranks was started by friends Barbara Williamson and Pat Lange after meeting online. Barbara’s journey into sock making began with her fascination with sockcranking machines, and after seeking out more information, she connected with Pat, who invited her to a monthly group of other enthusiastic crankers. This discovery inspired Barbara to purchase her own machine. Fortunately, her hand-knitting background meant she already had a stash of yarn ready to be put into use.
