About Us:
We are the Gallaghers! A closely knit, small family that has been doing the WSU Moms' Spring Arts and Crafts Fair and the Autumn Arts and Crafts Festival since 1986,
We are Don and Linda Gallagher, daughter Ginger, and granddaughter Sammy (Samantha). Ginger and Sammy have grown up with the 2 fairs in the family. Ginger has taken over most of the hands-on running of the fairs and Don and I do the background prep and bookwork. Sammy gets involved as much as possible around her school schedule. It takes all of us to pull the two fairs off each year and we look forward from one to the other - we are always working
The highlights of the year, of course, are the fairs themselves! We have known many of our exhibitors for years and it is like a big family reunion! We love meeting and greeting all of the exhibitors - new and returning. Each of our exhibitors represent a family and we all hope for successful sales for every one who shows with us at our fairs.
We started out at the National Guard Armory in Pullman with the fall fair and expanded to the Moms' Spring fair a year or so later and started that one in the basement of a church on campus. We grew so rapidly that we moved into Beasley Coliseum and have stayed there. It is a great venue for our exhibitors and our customers. The Coliseum is wonderful to work with and we have never looked back!
