ABOUT US
WHO ARE JODI & KT?
Jodi & KT met as teenagers when they became neighbors and their friendship has grown over the years.
In 2015, both women sold jewelry for a small direct sales company and each participated in various vendor shows in the area. The duo saw the good, the bad and the ugly of vendor events ranging from great organization to really poor planning and attendance. The tally of unsuccessful events added up, so they decided to take matters into their own hands to organize and host their own vendor show.
The flagship event that started it all was “Fall Into the Holidays” and while it only had 100 guests in 2016, it has now blossomed to over 2,000 shoppers with 100+ vendors between the three buildings at the Dubuque County Fairgrounds. Each year, Jodi & KT Invite You grows by hosting unique shopping experiences for the community to shop from local, unique small businesses.
