In this fast pace world we live in there are many that yearn for a simpler time and place. The Rustic Lifestyle Show fetches these folks together here in Michigan to show off their works of rustic furniture, crafts, and to talk about rustic living. There will be workshops Demonstrations and lectures from some of the finest craftsmen in the country. There will be camping, food and entertainment at Bim Willow’s 57acre farm in southwest Michigan.
