Gallery Exhibits and Special Recognition

---

When Terri and Steve Rider were accepted to participate in their first Shaker Woods Festival in 2026, they could only do so if they were able to build their structure.

With lots of grit, determination, and love, they managed to build a beautiful little glass house!  Steve worked endlessly to fulfill Terri's dream, and finished the build just days before the show opened.

The end results were an AMAZING response from all of the spectacular visitors, and awarded 

BEST OVERALL BOOTH 2026!
