"The Funky Finds Spring Fling is by far one of my favorite shows of the year! The event coordinators are truly special folks who not only love the indie scene but live it. I have never before met an organization that is so supportive to their local community and just so passionate about what they do. When I am vending at one of their events, I am nothing but excited. I don't have to worry about all the little details, because I know they have everything under control. You can't put a value on that." - Tania Cardenas, The Curious Cake Shoppe & The Curious Canvas |
