Ever wonder why they’re called hex signs? The term was not popularized by the Pennsylvania Dutch, instead it came from a Yankee artist from Massachusetts, Wallace Nutting. Wallace was well known for his scenic photography and his studio of 90 artists that would watercolor his images. He also wrote travel books and in 1924 released Pennsylvania Beautiful. It included sketches of barns located in Allentown and Lehigh County. One of them entitled “Witches Foot Barn” or in our language HexeFoos, and the first ever historically documented account of their magic meaning, the story of which was supposedly told to him by one of the local Allentown farmers. The book wonderfully showcases the Lehigh Valley Schtanne style that is my favorite as a proud Allentown native whose family has resided in the county since the 1720s. I’m lucky to own a signed first edition and a few originals from his painting studio.

I just got off the phone with John Dewald. I have been uninvited from the The Gunmakers Fair at Kempton because I brought to their attention the hateful N**i symbols in Hunter Yoders art that he was planning on selling at the gun makers fair, the fact him being there at this festival will make myself, other vendors and customers uncomfortable. They told me, they would rather not have me there. I’ve been preparing for this festival for almost a year now, I have a ton of stock in paintings, redware pottery and beeswax candles that now have no where to sell.

I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE! By promoting the Eastern PA Homestead Festival for the last two years trying to get you all out there. They laughed in my face when I brought to their attention the N**i Black Sun art work Hunter Yoder had for sale in his tent and that customers have been complaining to me about it for days. I was going to move on and not post this here but they now have me blocked on social media for some reason….It looked like the crowds trumps getting at his great American state fair, pathetic. It was supposed to be bigger and better than last year. The only thing bigger and better is my beer belly and maybe the guys running it. Also it wasn’t the heat that kept the crowds away…People came out in droves to the Kutztown folk fest in 100 degrees. In my 5 years of vending I’ve never done a show where I’ve come out in the negatives, let alone thousands. When the person running it has zero past festival experience and totally ignores the suggestions of his vendors who do, because his wife has a dream of running a homestead fest. You get this, a completely out of touch flop that comes off alittle too white Christian nationalist, well at least that’s what my very few customers said. Homesteaders are not consumers they DIY. Not to mention Hunters neo N**i hex signs and the creepy R. Lee Ermy wannabe open carry in the Macungie wawa “veteran honorer” local parade p**o trying to get little boys in his camo tents with his tiny jeeps and mannequins verbally assaulting a child in front of a crowd of people to the point I had to get in between to protect the kid, the guy was not made to pack up and leave, and those hate symbols stayed up all weekend. I will never be a part of this festival again in the highly unlikely event there is a 3rd annual festival or any other festival that Yoder is at with his hateful ideologies and “art”.
