October 2004 Beautiful Booth of the Month Award:

A good broom is a wonderful thing to own, it makes a tedious household task much more tolerable, not to mention how good it looks as it waits in the corner for the next use. Thurman and Samantha make very good brooms. They use broomcorn from the midwest, and sustainably harvested Sassafras wood from Arkansas to craft a variety of brooms in full and small sizes. The tool they use, a broom vise, was invented by the Shakers and the metal pieces of their vise are over 100 years old.

They also embellish many of their brooms with traditional German "Tree Spirit" faces, hand carved in the handles. The carving also enriches unusual walking sticks that are also embellished with leather and brass.

The Scheumack Broom Co. does not have a reserved space, but can be found by asking at the Info Booth or making a sweep through the Park Blocks...
