Meet the Weavers

Michael and Kristi Weaver are deeply rooted in their community and bring their passion and dedication as the new owners of the Heart of the Ozarks Craft Fair. Michael, born and raised in the area, serves on the Washington County Fair Association’s Board of Directors.
 

Kristi wears many hats, including Stock Show Mom, and 4-H Leader. Above all, she is a born-again child of God, and her faith is the cornerstone of everything she does. Her love for event planning and building community shines through in her work. Together, they run a farm and raise their children. ​​
 

Their fancy soda drink truck has quickly become a fan favorite at local events, contributing to the vibrant, family-friendly experience the Weavers are renowned for.

 

With the Heart of the Ozarks Craft Fair, they strive to create an inviting atmosphere that reflects their values of community, faith, and family, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and can create lasting memories together.

About Heart of the Ozarks Craft Fair

Originally founded in 2014 by Bill and Karen Lloyd as a local craft event at the Washington County Fairgrounds, the fair was renamed the Heart of the Ozarks Craft Fair in 2024 when Michael and Kristi Weaver took ownership. With this new chapter, the Weavers are dedicated to carrying forward the event’s legacy while adding their own unique touch.
