Booth 102 - Gnomes
As a critical care RN, JULIE STUVER started creating gnomes as her creative outlet and stress reliever. She honestly relates that she once made a “dining room table out of pallets just to see if I could.” Since her inventory is only gnomes, she often finds an embellishment or sees another decorative item that would make an “adorable gnome.” It all started as she elected to make Christmas gifts for family members and recently grew to her present collection displayed in her booth. Although she has made a few gnome pillows and tree toppers, her specialty is the unique no “two ever alike” gnomes. “I think my gnomes are special and full of personality. They bring a smile to everyone when they visit my booth,” states Julie. Be one of those smiling in Booth 102 as Julie arrives again at the Saline Spring Craft Show at Saline Middle School on Saturday, March 8, 2025 from 8am-3:30 pm
Sunny, with a high of 70 and low of 49 degrees. Sunny for the morning, overcast in the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
