M.Y. Promotions, Inc was birthed by two ladies who started out
as crafters. Sally Mere & Donna Youngblood,
therefore the initials MY.
Our idea was to do for Crafters and Artisans what we wanted to
have done for us. We have enjoyed working with a variety of Crafters
& Artisans and have developed friendships that will last a
lifetime.
Donna has decided to leave MY after 10 years to pursue different
interests. We appreciate everything she did and wish her well!
Ron has gotten so busy with his Potty Business that he also
bowed out and will not be able to help me. Gene & Shirley Nicalek,
our security staff are invaluable to me. Anything I need done,
they will do it and we will be fine. Friends, please
listen to Gene if he asks you to do or not do something! He has my total
backing! Tom,
my husband is still my personal Bus Driver and sometimes other
duties fall on him which he does very well. I really miss my
Brother-in-Law Tony who has always helped with getting my
trailer on location and help with teardown. All that now
falls on Tom who is very able and willing to do so.
Tom and my personal family have grown. We now have 7 Grandchildren,
5 awesome boys and 2 adorable princesses. Both of my Daughters and
Spouses live only minutes from us
and our Son and his Wife live only 10 miles from us. We are truly
blessed.
Ron & Donna are married again and doing very well. Their family has stayed with two married sons and
2 adorable Grandsons. Matthew
is now a full time Youth Pastor in N.C. & Philip is a Fort Myers Police
Officer. They
too have been very blessed.
We still advertise very well. We use local Papers & Radio
Stations, Banner & Road Signs wherever possible & flyers.
We offer great food at our shows, such as Hot Dogs, Hamburgers,
Funnel Cakes, Kettle Corn, Ice Cream, Lemonade and Nuts.
We support a Wildlife Sanctuary "Lions, Tigers & Bears,
Inc". They bring a live Florida Panther, Bob Cats, Skunks
or any other exotic animal to show and educate the public about
the scarcity of the majestic animals. It is a great draw.
If someone is interested (mostly Ladies) in sharing expenses
and room together (for safety as well as finances) please let me know and I
will try to connect you with someone interested as well.
The most important motto of our company is: WE Care!
We have been in your shoes as crafters and work hard for you,
so that you will be successful also. In helping others to be successful,
we are successful as well. We are on location from the time we
set up until after the show is over, except for suppers.
If you have ANY complaints or Suggestions (which I appreciate),
please see me or Gene. I will NEVER hold anything against
anyone, if they do not agree with me. I make mistakes, I'm a big
girl - I can take criticism. I would like to help solve
problems, not make them.
Last season was not too bad. We had
several very successful locations and are looking for more. Small
businesses are still the life blood of our Country. We are looking forward to
see you all again!
We hope you will join us in our upcoming season.
