35th Anniversary Springtime in Ohio Show News 2023

April showers and the return of the geese and duck families to Riverside Park in Findlay are the first signs of Spring which means our signature Springtime in Ohio show is almost here and we are gearing up for a fantastic 35th year at the Hancock County Fairgrounds on May 6 & 7, 2023.

Mark your calendars to join us for a fun-filled weekend with crafters of distinction. This is the perfect opportunity to find that special Mother’s Day gift to show your love the following weekend to your Mom. Stay tuned-in to our Facebook page because our vendors are showcasing their new products and offerings.

Over the years, Cloud Productions has always strived to make shows family-friendly with vendor offerings and entertainment. The Two of Us singing duo will be on-hand too and you will hear Mark Nightengale at the gazebo playing his trombone. The Romick Parkway train will also be on the grounds for kids to ride for $3.00 per ride on Saturday and Sunday; adults are welcome to ride as well.

Be sure to stop by Building I when you arrive and visit the Enter-to-Win booth. Cloud Productions will be having Esther’s Wheel of Fun spinning along with the Daisy Drop. Give a donation to spin the wheel and win a prize! All donations will be going to the Hancock

County Explorers, which is a program through the Hancock County Sheriff’s office where teens are given opportunities to have a look into professions within the Sheriff’s Office.

Additionally, all our vendors who advertised in this edition of the Show News will receive 25 contest entries to hand out to customers who make a purchase in their booth. See page 10 for more details.

Online ticket sales have started and you can purchase your admission tickets in advance through TicketSpice. This is the perfect way to keep the parking lines moving smoothly so you can get in to shop quicker! Be sure to go to our website www.cloudshows.biz or Facebook. com/cloudproductions for the link for either general admission or Early Bird tickets. There is no coupon at the gate but, there is a discount of $1.00 per ticket when you purchase two general admission tickets online! Tickets are $6.00 per person at the gate and kids under 12 are free. Early Bird tickets are $8.00 for admission on Saturday from 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM. All early bird admission tickets MUST be purchased online.

Lots of great food, entertainment, free parking, ATMs, and we also offer help delivering purchases to your vehicle! With many, many vendors, be sure to get a stamp before you leave at an exit gate so you can return Sunday at no cost. The Hancock County Fairgrounds is

located 2 1/2 miles from I-75 exit 157 on E. Sandusky St. Watch Facebook.com/cloudproductions for updates and we’ll see you at the fairgrounds!

My husband, Dean Mengert passed in 2020 and not a day goes by that I don’t miss him. He was strong, brave, and fought lung cancer for over 8 years. His love was endless, and he would move mountains to make sure that all Cloud Production events were fun for all. Besides driving my truck and trailers (with the help of some friends) to all the shows he would fix small problems when power was not working in a booth, grabbing a tractor to help get vendors’ trailers placed safely, hop in a golf cart to help a customer get to their car with all their purchases, and he loved telling corny jokes to make people smile during set-up and tear down. When Dean was MIA he could usually be found getting spoiled from the food vendors with

yummy samples or shopping for metal art gifts to place in the yard. Dean never knew a stranger and built so many friendships with the vendors over the years that it made it fun for him to catch up with everyone over the weekends. Bigger than life and full of love for me. Don’t take a day for granted. Tell someone you love them. -Judy

Besides making fun little animals she also has quality practical accessories. Be sure to stop by and pick up some super cute, made with love, snugglies by Kora!

Awesome. Beautiful. Stunning. Gorgeous. These are just a few descriptions of Tim Boldman’s woodworking craft. He enjoys handcrafting cutting boards, charcuterie boards, rolling pins, pepper mills, and wooden signs in his small shop in Defiance, Ohio. Tim uses the best, locally sourced, non-toxic wood, which are mostly hard maple, cherry, and walnut. He builds with traditional joinery and completes each piece with high quality finishes. Tim says he loves creating beautiful wooden items for others to enjoy. See the Boldman Woodworks in Building C/D Booth 40, and perhaps put in a custom order with Tim!

Forget the diet and stop by for your favorite!

What initially began as two neighbors being neighborly, a serious relationship developed, Michelle gave Joe a gift, and MoJo53 Barrel Creations was born! The gift Joe received was made from a whiskey barrel and prompted them to get creative. Joe and Michelle researched their ideas, met a whiskey barrel enthusiast, acquired some whiskey barrels and got busy. They inspire each other, encourage each other in their craftsmanship, and are eager to share their passion with others. Oh, and there’s 53 gallons of whiskey in a barrel! MoJo53 Barrel Creations can be found in Building FA Booth 69.

Talented Young Artist Emerged in 2020

Wow...Cole Knippen is a self-taught, wet-on-wet landscape painter who started painting during the pandemic while he was only 13 years old in online school! His level of artistry would have you fooled into thinking he has many years of experience under his belt. Always enjoying the work of the well renowned artist, Bob Ross, Cole says it was a blessing to take a class and learn right from Bob’s son, Steve. From trees, to water, to mountains, Cole can paint it all. You can meet Cole and discover his landscapes in Infinite Artwork By Cole in Building FA Booth 27.

No Common Scents

If you’re looking for playful, extraordinary, made-toorder candles and melts, head over to Building A Booths 48, 49, & 50.

Plenty of scents to choose from, and these are neat, unexpected gifts for hard-to-buy for folks or can be party gifts!

The Craft Shak is where you’ll find Lori’s passion for creating unique pieces of art. She’ll have tumblers, car coasters, canvas sings, t-shirts, key chains, and badge buddies.

FAMILY UPDATE

Memories made with family and friends are priceless treasures that mean the most when looking back at all the laughs and tears shared with so many. This includes the last 35 years of Cloud Production shows at the Hancock County Fairgrounds. Cloud Productions has survived floodings, sunshsine, rain and snow, and one year that nearly paralyzed everyone. Cloud Productions has succeeded all these years by working closely with the city, county, health department, fairgrounds and multiple individuals to find solutions so the shows go off without a hitch as a fun, relaxing event so many are a-custom to attending. The cheerful décor and finding new and returning vendors are traditions for so many families.

When I took the leap and started Cloud Productions in 1987, I was successful because of the support of my Mom and Dad, husband Dean, and kids. Their dedication and support have been the glue to so many years of fun and success with both vendors and customers. I’ve been learning to take more time to stop and smell the roses and enjoy time with grandkids and family because memories are priceless and what fills my heart the most.

After losing the love of my life in 2020, I have been bombarded with the paperwork and emotions of finding a new normal and am hopeful that 2023 is going to be a clean slate going forward. I am thankful for friends who have helped manage the farm and help keep Cloud Productions moving forward.

Dani, Cliff and the girls and Max added a fur child to the family in 2022. A French bulldog named Moose. Recently they had a small scare with Moose going out onto the pool that was still covered and fell in.

Thankfully Dani saw him treading water and jumped in to save him. He is a good boy who travels to all softball games for the girls and has adopted himself as Cliff’s sidekick. Max is getting big and loves sports as well, but we will see if he is a soccer player, basketball player or following his sister and becoming a baseball player. Maddie and Kenzie are growing up too fast and I was able to make a few trips down to Tennessee last year to do a little shopping and ringing in the New Year. I love Nashville and all the hustle and bustle of entertainment. Dani and Cliff are Navy Vets and this year they took a family cruise. Although everyone had a blast, Cliff and Dani don’t miss sea life but they might do another cruise sometime.

fur kids Baiden and Ellie are good keepers of the little brothers, and they allow Harrison to crawl all over them without a care in the world.

Mac, Jillian, and the boys are having a great time being a little family. I have been able to pop down to Dayton quite a bit celebrating birthdays and the holidays. Harrison celebrated his 1st birthday in 2023 with a Winnie the Pooh themed party with family and neighbors. He eats everything and is happy all the time. His big brother Edison turned 3 this year and he is into everything from animals, trucks, and sports. He is a good big brother and is a spitting image of his dad. The

Over the last year I was also able to make special memories with Mom, Lani, and sisters out East. Enjoying the beach and sun is always a yes!. While there, I was able to take Mom to a nephew’s wedding where Lani even did a little dancing.

Back home I have been out and about taking in some local events over the last year with close friends. My sister Susan came out for a much-needed visit and joined me at the Dayton show.

I am looking forward to a fun summer and meeting up with the family.

Visit Steve’s Crosses & More in Building I Booth 29 to admire these inspiring crosses. Gift one to yourself or your special someone.

Feel The Burn Hot Sauce is a family run and operated company that makes hot sauces and dry rubs that taste good and have a bit of heat. They grow everything and every year add more and more peppers. They start growing seeds in November and December in their greenhouse, and since it takes months for the hottest peppers in the world to produce, they have start early. Owner Curt stated, “Growing our plants from seeds takes a lot of love and care and we also bring that passion to the production of our products.” This Ohio Proud company is based out of Ottawa, Ohio with their local hot sauce that can be found Outside in Booth P. Local hot sauce is the best hot sauce!

If we asked Travis about two years ago to make a bowl out of wood, he probably would have asked in return, “why?” Yet a social media video on that very topic appeared satisfying to him. So he invested in tools and began a new hobby. He initially crafted bowls for the coffee table, began a “Firewood Rescue Program”, then opened an Etsy shop. Although woodturning started off as a hobby less than two years ago, it quickly escalated into a dream job, proving that “work” doesn’t have to be something dreaded. Travis said, “There is no limit to creativity and the odds are, someone out there will think what you have created is the perfect piece. Maybe not every piece, but that is why keeping your head up, persevering, and never stoping creating are the most important ingredients to loving what you do. Strive to INSPIRE, love to CREATE and don’t forget to TURN IT UP!!” Find Turn It Up by Travis with the turtle logo Outside in Booth AA.
