We have had a lot of people asking about us doing festivals. We have our booth inside Vintage Garage Antiques. Matt makes the geese and each one is about 55lbs. Imagine having to make 6 geese at a time which takes 2 hours to ensure quality. Then he has to remove each one from the mold 55lbs each. Then he has to water them everyday. If he’s not happy with the outcome, all that he has done is only worth the lesson of what not to do next time. Matt has a full time job and is technically on call 24/7. We still want to enjoy our lives and use our boat. Last year we went on the boat maybe 3-4 times. We have a young lady that comes to paint when we have them ready. She has her own life too with school and sports. I can’t do much with the geese because I can’t lift them and it takes too much out of me to paint them. Anyway, all of this is to say that we love our goose business, but rather than doing festivals, we are considering opening another booth at a wonderful place Big Shoals Junction. Just kind of giving you all background.
