About Us...

We are the Graham Family and we've lived in and around the City of Galesburg since the 1880's. We own Rockhound Rock Shop (was Grant's Antique Mall for many years), the Trading Post out back and Prospector's Cook House across the street as well as a few other businesses in the area. 

 

We first started going to ren fairs during the Silver Leaf days at River Oaks Park, then helped at the tail end with Jeff & Andy at Mayfaire in Marshall. (No, we are not affiliated with Blackrock) Once both of those events were gone, there wasn't anything local to be a part of anymore, so we moved on to supporting other projects and events as well has hosting two annual events at our store in Galesburg, which average around 3-4,000 people throughout the day. Ren fairs have always held a special place in our hearts because they are an accepting & safe place where anyone can be their authentic self. We believe the Kalamazoo area market can support and sustain an annual ren faire and we hope to bring together a similar group to the "good ole days" of ren fairs with an out of this world vibe of acceptance, feeling safe and uplifting everyone involved. Whether you are a vendor, entertainer, spectator or volunteer, we hope you approach this event with open arms, open mind and will all help make it feel like its very own Great Raven Ren Family.  Please be patient as this event develops. Trust us, we are anxious to get it going too, but we need to fit it into an already active list of events we are involved with each year.  It's going to take a lot of work, so please, if you would like to help, we can sure use it.  It will be here before you know it!
