The Kennels Trading Post was born after a cold, wet event. There was nary a single vendor selling mittens to keep fingers from going numb. After a couple of months of research, trial, and error, I produced a pair of mittens for myself. When other event devotees started asking where they could acquire mittens for themselves, I started producing and selling them at events, and as time moved on I branched out into hand muffs and hats.
