about catbird events

We LOVE all things local! And in 2016 Catbird Events was formed in order to bring the community opportunities to support, shop, and love LOCAL & HANDMADE.  We have found over the years this is a wonderful way to partner with amazing small businesses, bring local artists & makers together with the community, and most importantly raise the awareness of the importance of supporting local, small & handmade!
