Milwaukee Krampusnacht Vendor of the Week: Mendoza’s Curiosities

We’re so glad to have talented artist Estephanie Mendoza on this year’s vendor floor. Este created our awesome Milwaukee Paranormal Conference art for 2021 and she’s got a beautiful selection of illustrations and crafts for Milwaukee Krampusnacht. The Krampus stuff is great, of course, but we love the fact that she created some Mari Lwyd art as well (the Mari Lwyd comes from a Welsh tradition and we’ve featured one in our Krampus Parade since 2018).

Stinky Goblin Emporium has been part of Milwaukee Krampusnacht since year one and they have created our incredibly awesome event/t-shirt art every year. They say they love Krampusnacht, and we certainely love them. From the Goblins’ mouth:

This year we have an excellent line-up of 33 vendors for our event Sept. 25 at Alverno College’s Bucyrus Center. It’s a really good mix of familiar faces and people brand new to the conference, including organizations, artists, authors, businesses and more. The conference runs 10am-5pm on September 25. It’s a free event, you just need to get your tickets by registering here: milwaukeeparacon.com/registration
