Made South makes its way to Hoover

This weekend, Made South made its way to the new Finley Center in Hoover. The event, which included Southern artists, food, drinks and music, took place from June 2-3. The first night of the event was a VIP night, while the second day was open to the general public with the purchase of a ticket.

Hope Mills Voelkel from Hem + Haw said she enjoyed participating in Made South, as it provided an opportunity to chat with other artisans and see what other small, Southern businesses were up to.

"It's been great," she said. "It's my first time participating in it."

As shoppers milled about, they listened to live music, perused vendor booths and were able to sample food and drinks. For more information on Made South, go to madesouth.com.
