The Valley is
Back!
Mad River Antler
is proud to announce that we weathered the floods in the Mad
River Valley and will be exhibiting at the
41st Mad River Valley Fine Art and Craft Fair in Waitsfield
Vermont this weekend September 3 and 4th.
Come on out to support the Valley businesses.
Mad River Antler
will be donating 20% of their sales from the Craft Fair to the
Mad River Valley Hurricane Relief Fund. The MRV Community
Fund has activated a special flood relief fund. We appreciate
your donations toward local people and businesses affected by
the floods in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene. Please visit

has collaborated with 2 other businesses in showcasing our creations
and other artists from the Valley as well.
We'll once again feature a Post and Beam display created by
Alces Post and Beam ( www.alcespostandbeam.com

So stop by and visit the booth under the BIG tent.
Mad River Antler:
Gallery Update
The Bridge Street
Emporium will reopen tomorrow Friday, September 2 after cleaning
up from the flood. We dodged a bullet for sure compared to the
businesses located all around us. We only had a little mud on
floor. So we moved everything out, cleaned and rearrange the
entire Gallery. Special thanks to Gary Eckhart for coordinating
the entire cleanup and a BIG “Thank You!” to all of
the people who came out to help.
You can read and
view pictures pertaining of Massive cleanup throughout the Mad
River Valley and www.valleyreporter.com.

FEEDBACK
We
gave Ken quite a difficult task to design and build a
lamp to fit a very small surface...just slightly over
6 inches wide. And, on top of that, the shade we chose
is very heavy. We are thrilled with the finished product
and enjoy it every day. Thanks, Ken. (Nancy &
Jess, Warren, VT)
The
chandelier exceeded expectations. The quality and craftsmanship
are the best we have ever seen. (H. Anderson, Naples,
FL)
Ken
is very creative in all of his creations. The chandeliers
and lamps have perfect symmetry and are well balanced.
The new line of chandeliers with the down light are absolutely
beautiful. Great job Ken. (L. Jones, Warren, VT)
The piece is gorgeous. I hope that I can wait to give
him this gift! I will be buying more of your work in the
spring for sure, if not earlier. I like the natural look
of the antlers as well. Some artists coat them in so much
clear coat that I think it takes away from the beauty
of the piece. The natural antler plays into the craftsman
style much better. (Johanna, VT)
