As a local business rooted in Utah since 1932, Harmons is proud to support Craft Lake City’s DIY Festival,” said Lindee Nance, Harmons Vice President of Marketing. “We began as a small family-owned fruit stand and understand the dedication it takes to turn a small business dream into reality. Craft Lake City is a great platform for artisans and makers, and we’re excited to see this year’s talented participants.”

We’re grateful for the loyalty Harmons has expressed, not only to Craft Lake City but also to Utah’s maker community,” says Angela H. Brown, Executive Director of Craft Lake City. “We are so grateful for their constant support.”

For over a decade, Harmons’ steadfast support of the Annual DIY Festival has empowered Craft Lake City to continue to grow this three-day celebration of Utah’s vibrant creative culture. Their partnership helps the nonprofit arts organization in their mission to uplift local artisans and foster meaningful connections among makers and the broader arts community.
