Today we’d like to introduce you to Casey Kennerson.
Hi Casey, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Grew up making jewelry and beads with my mom and selling these across the country, we envisioned a high end show that we could sell at and when we couldn’t find what we were looking for we started our own with just 5 other exhibitors, the next year we grew to over 50 and since have grown to over 10 locations a year across CA and AZ with over 200 exhibitors in each. These events are focused on beads, gems and jewelry as well as Arts & Crafts and Artisans.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It has had it’s ups and downs, especially during covid when we were shut down for over a year, but with our strong base and relationship with the artisans and exhibitors and our attendees who love what we do we have pushed forward and keep evolving to be better and better
