🌟 A Personal Note:

We started Hard Tack N’at as a little family tradition and grew it into something we love to share with others. Craft shows like this one remind us of the magic of community, conversation, and creativity. We’d love for you to come by, chat, taste some candy, and enjoy the fun with us.
