Next time on park check out the candle shop...I think they might have a 50th anniversary SDC candle that is on the high end of the economic ladder. If I could afford the special stuff, I'd go to each craft shop that had something this year and buy it and squirrel it away.

Here's a tip for someone looking for "investment" arts and crafts...I'd recommend getting a basket by Donnie Ellison, glassblown products by the craftsmen, woodcarving by the craftsman, and so on, while they are active and at the top of their game...hold on to it, show it off in your home, someday, well, it might really be worth something. I know I'd love to have some baskets Leslie Jones or his wife made, or somthing Shad Heller made, or Bruce Grimes, the former gunsmith, or Pete Engler, the woodcarver made. Last I heard, Pete Engler had made so much stuff, he had his own warehouse in Branson. If he passes, you'd see his stuff being sold for several years.
