MAMAS & MAKERS

We are so excited that Mamas & Makers is almost here and we can't wait to share all the details about this wonderful event! This family-friendly event happens this Saturday, May 12, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Huron County Museum and will help families prepare to celebrate the mamas in their lives during this Mother's Day weekend.

We are equally as excited to be partnering with Huron Birth to present this event. Huron Birth is a heartfelt group of doulas from the area who are passionate about our community, perinatal well-being, supporting families and sharing lots of love for tiny humans. They offer programs and services that help families through the transitions from pregnancy to parenthood and this fundraising event will help them grow their work throughout Huron County, specifically their Maternal Outreach Fund that provides doula support to vulnerable members within our community.

So what can you expect at Mamas & Makers? A variety of family-friendly activities, listed below, along with a curated artisan market featuring locally made products to spoil your mama. Each maker, listed below, has generously donated an item that will be raffled off at the end of the day - be sure to visit each table to see what each maker has donated.
