KAREN TINDALL
Holly, MI
In her over 40 years of crafting, KAREN TINDALL has been head candle maker, changed to quilted pillows and quilts, doll clothes and handmade dolls, bears, and snowmen. Today with the addition of her husband, Jay in the crafting, she now deals with wood, antiques, and holiday décor. Her best seller is her 6’ snowman tree. She recently had a customer want three of her 6’ garden girls. This loyal customer returned three more times to purchase a total of 12 of these. “I enjoy the one-of-a-kind items,” Karen relates as “this allows me to find a unique vase and decide how to decorate and pull together all of the parts that make this item pop.” The hunt for that special item inspires Karen to continue this creative effort and challenges her to see how she can design these special pieces. Find Karen in Booth 229 Saturday.

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.
