Happy Autumn and Reformation Day!
For this blog post, I shall list all of the vendors, whom I have so far, for the 2020 Vaughnsville Craft and Vendor Show and some of my book signings.
Update: I'm waiting on three checks and three entry forms to come in the mail from three different ladies, so hopefully they will come soon. I'm not accepting anymore vendors beyond those three ladies for the 2020 Vaughnsville Craft and Vendor Show. Hopefully next year there won't be a need to social distancing and I can "pack the house," like I wanted to do originally.
Vendors for the 2020 Vaughnsville Craft and Vendor Show (so far):

- Update: Jordan sadly doesn't have enough workers to man both his permanent stand at the Northland Chief Supermarket and the kitchen in the Vaughnsville Community Center, so he sadly will not be able to make it up to the Vaughnsville Craft and Vendor Show this year; hopefully next year though.

I'm looking for vendors to come and sell their merchandise. I'm pretty much open to anything legal and clean, but homemade baked goods and craft items are preferred. I will be posting the "2021 Vaughnsville Craft and Vendor Show: Vendor Entry Form" blog post for next year's show in Vaughnsville, Ohio at some point, after this year's show is over. 2020 vendors will be invited back first. Hopefully we will not have to social distance at the 2021 show and we can have more vendors.

My Green Irish Angel Statues: My Green Irish Angel Statues are really cute! They are only $1 each and they make great gifts. I have three kinds: 1. Cross-Bearing Angels, 2. Praying Angels, and 3. Angels Holding Butterflies. I like the Cross-Bearing Angels the best, because they are carrying Crosses. Each one bearing a Cross reminds us, that Jesus died on the True Cross to save every single person from death, Hell, Satan, Satan's Demons, Original Sin from Adam and Eve, and their personal sins. They're available exclusively at Jen's Furniture and Collectibles (JFC) on the corner High Street and Chestnut Street in between Circle K Gas Station and Zion Lutheran Church (NALC) in St. Marys, Ohio.
Stores Carrying My Books: My books, which I’ve written and published, are also available at the following stores: Brunner News Agency on Flanders Avenue in Lima, Ohio, Jen’s Furniture and Collectibles (JFC) on High Street in St. Marys, Ohio, The Menagerie at 1178 Indiana Avenue behind Beer Barrel in the St. Marys Business Complex in St. Marys, Ohio, Readmore Hallmark Stores out at Eastgate Plaza and on Elm Street in Lima, Ohio, Wagner’s IGA Grocery Store in Minster, Ohio, and in the Shop section of my website ohioirishlutheranpress.com .
Thank you!
