Hi there! I’m Valerie — event organizer, creative spirit, and the buzzing brain behind the Busy Bee Buzzar — a handmade market where community meets creativity!

What started as a love for local markets and handmade treasures (yes, I’ve been a vendor myself!) turned into a passion for creating something even bigger — a space where makers and families can come together for a day full of small business love, fun, and connection.

Now I’m thrilled to say I’m no longer buzzing solo — my partner-in-crime Ashlee has officially joined the hive! Together, we’re bringing fresh energy, bright ideas, and double the fun to every market we host. From vendor coordination to crafting kid-friendly activities, we’re a dynamic duo dedicated to making every event sweet as honey.

The Busy Bee Buzzar features 30+ talented vendors from all across the state, each offering handmade goods you can’t find anywhere else. From quirky home décor and cozy knits to artisan soaps and statement earrings — it’s a treasure trove of creativity.

But the Buzzar isn’t just about shopping. We’re all about the experience — think interactive fun for kids, photo ops, themed booths, and that warm, fuzzy feeling of supporting local. Our markets are family-friendly, full of smiles, and designed to keep even your littlest sidekicks happy while you browse.

As a former vendor myself, I know the hustle — that’s why we focus on affordable booth fees and a smooth, supportive event day. We’ve got your back, whether it’s your first market or your fiftieth.

So whether you’re joining us to vend, shop, snack, or just hang out — welcome to the hive! We’re so glad you’re here, and we can’t wait to buzz around with you soon. 🐝

With love,
Valerie & Ashlee
Your Buzzar Dream Team
