Liza says she got involved with fairs 30 years ago and was a strolling minstrel playing guitar and singing Irish, Scottish, English, Celtic- type music before meeting the shop’s former owner.

“We’ve been doing it full-time ever since” she says, noting that she and Jerry currently handle about half a dozen shows annually, plus the website.
