Clarion, Pa. – Sonny Schmuck of Montoursville, Pa., said the sunny weather had little to do with his success on Crafter’s Day.
“I’ve always been pleased with the turnout and support that Clarion shows, even on rainy years,” Schmuck said.
Schmuck’s stall, SS Fragrances, was on the 300 block on Main Street during the Autumn Leaf Festival.
“I did very well,” Schmuck said.
Schmuck travels 10 months out of the year, selling his specialty soaps, and he said ALF is one of the best festivals.
Schmuck said out of 25 cities in 18 states, Clarion is one of his favorites.
Schmuck sells his soap as far south as Jacksonville, Fla., as far west as St. Louis and as far north as Albany, N.Y.
“I’ve been coming to ALF for five years now,” Schmuck said, “and I’ll definitely be back next year.”
Schmuck said he has built a loyal clientele in Clarion.
“Once you try my soap,” Schmuck said, “you’ll come back for more next year.”
“The whole town is behind it,” Schmuck said, “and that is so nice to see, because it doesn’t happen everywhere. People are really glad to have us.”
Schmuck said Crafter’s Day at ALF is one of the best places in the country for vendors.
