About
The inaugural AUTUMN FESTIVAL Arts & Crafts show was held in 1983 in Omaha, NE. Jim’s involvement with a family woodworking shop, his dad’s homebuilding business, & Donna’s background in crafts & attention to detail all inspired them to create a marketplace for artists & crafters of diverse talents.
Since that initial event & after adding SPRING FESTIVALS to their line-up, the Huffmans have organized & promoted over 250 arts & crafts shows in 12 markets throughout the Midwest. All shows are held in premier convention center facilities in major metropolitan areas. These fun & festive events draw customers from a radius of hundreds of miles away! In fact, their 3,000,000th AUTUMN FESTIVAL customer, Carey T. of Leigh, NE, was recently celebrated with a $1,000 show shopping spree! Adding SPRING FESTIVALS to the mix, over 4,200,000 customers have enjoyed the shows’ 34-year run. With exhibitors from all over the country, the shows have become a much anticipated customer tradition!
