TESTIMONIALS

Kathi,

We can’t tell you how excited we are for the upcoming Rib Fest the end of the month of May.  Last year (2011) was our first year, and to be honest, we have no expectations but we did know how many people come to eat the fine food, we would be in that crowd for sure every year.  So doing our crafts, we sell the airplants and make them in shells or in driftwood gardens, and make your own jewelry, mostly for kids, where they choose a pendant that is handcrafted by us.  This year we are adding the glass orbs for the airplants and people can make their own terrarium with the sea and beach glass, shells and stones that can be added for no extra cost.  We have handcrafted hangers at an additional cost for them to hang in a window.

We were totally surprised by how well we did, how nice the people were and how busy ALL four days were for us.  Even with a little weather challenge it was really great.  We are sure we will see many of the same customers as many said they would be back to see us again.  Thanks for putting on such a great event in Erie!! See you very soon.

“Kathi has got to be the most organized (and patient) gal I know. She makes running the Wild Rib Cook Off  & Music Festival in Erie look so easy – year after year. She keeps getting great rib teams, quality vendors and stellar entertainment to kick off the beginning of  “fair season”.  This event truly is the start of our summer and is highly anticipated.  I have participated as a vendor for the past 3 years and have a great time meeting the public and enjoying the scenery.  It makes my work so much more enjoyable because Kathi is so good at hers!”

“Kathi Danielson is the kind of woman you want in your corner, and since I first met her back in 2006, that has been the case. While working with Kathi on the Erie’s Wild Rib Fest & Music Festival and various other side projects, we operated as a two-woman show to execute a very large and well-attended festival in Erie, Pennsylvania.  During the planning and execution stages, we faced many adversities, but Kathi’s wit, perseverance, know-how, can-do attitude and no-nonsense approach led the way. I was highly impressed with her ability to get things done, no matter what. We worked very well together as a team and she treated me with the utmost respect and fostered an environment of camaraderie and equality unrivaled by many. I’m very glad I had the opportunity of working with such a strong, accomplished woman. Anyone would be lucky to know Kathi and have her plan/produce their event.” March 25, 2011

“Kathi is a pleasure to work with! She is open to ideas, easy to talk to, and handles herself professionally.” June 21, 2011

“Kathi does a great job of organizing the Rib Fest in Erie.  As a vendor there we had no troubles finding our space and utility hookups etc.  She was also a great help in getting the appropriate permits.

Her crew kept the grounds spotless as well.”
