✨ Artisan Spotlight Sunday ✨
For more than 40 years, Doug has been a cherished part of the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, crafting and selling his beautifully hand-carved walking sticks for festival guests from near and far. Now joined by his son Ryan for the past four years, this talented duo continues a family tradition of artistry, craftsmanship, and Renaissance spirit.
Be sure to stop by and admire their stunning hand-carved wood creations at Sticks by Hicks in Booths 209-210—each one made with care, character, and decades of dedication! 👑
