As new industries emerge, employers are asking "Where can I find talent?" We think the answer should be Lenawee County, Michigan.

Welcome Grandpa Arnie Short from Wauseon, OH to the #greatlakeswoodworkingfestival in @cityofadrianmi! May 6th, noon - 6pm SCROLL SAW TOYS & PUZZLES - Grandpa Arnie's Creations "Hello everyone my name is Arnie Short. I am the Creator and Owner of Grandpa Arnie's Creations. How did this all start? Well many years ago when my children were little I started making items for them as a hobby. Then next thing you know the grandkids were here, and I continued to make items for them all. Now that I'm retired I have even more time for my hobby. I enjoy to watch the faces of my kids, grandkids, and others when they see the items for the first time. It's even more joy to sit back and watch my grandkids play with my creations. I hope ALL of you come out to the 2nd Annual Great Lakes Woodworking Festival to see all the creations I will have for sale." @visitlenawee #woodworking #scrollsaw #toys #kids #puzles #wooden #craft
