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 is the Fall into the Holidays and it had only 100 shoppers in 2016 but has bloomed to over 2000 with 100+ vendors spread between multiple buildings! Jodi & KT Invite You continues to grow by hosting unique shopping experiences for the community to buy from local, unique small businesses. Current fun shopping events include:
- Cabin Fever Retreat
- Cowboy Christmas
- Crafty Crawl
- Fall into the Holidays
- SheShed Fest
- Trading Post Tack Swap
- Thrifty Affair Garage Sale
Jodi & KT's mission is to bring people together to shop local!
