Custom Oak Bowls will feature handcrafted wooden bowls made from solid oak, highlighting traditional woodworking and functional craftsmanship. Each piece is shaped and finished by hand, producing durable kitchenware suitable for serving, food prep, or display. The booth demonstrates the value of handmade household goods and how simple, long-lasting items can replace disposable products while supporting small-scale artisans.

The National Preparedness Network provides practical, hands-on education that attendees can immediately apply in daily life. Our booths and classes focus on food security, basic emergency readiness, homesteading skills, and community resilience, with live demonstrations such as gardening methods, food preservation, water storage, and low-cost preparedness planning. Rather than selling fear, we teach capability. Visitors leave with clear steps, simple checklists, and local resource connections so they can care for their families, assist neighbors, and strengthen their community before and after emergencies.

Mountain Holler Food brings a traditional, home-style food experience that complements the educational atmosphere of the show. We focus on simple, hearty Appalachian cooking using familiar ingredients and time-tested methods, giving attendees a chance to taste the same kind of meals often discussed in homesteading and preservation classes. The booth provides affordable, filling options while also demonstrating how basic pantry staples can be turned into satisfying meals, reinforcing the value of practical cooking skills and local food culture.
