The 50th Annual Hannibal Folklife Festival commemorative poster was designed by local artist Sarah A. McUmber-House, who first created a Hannibal Folklife Festival poster in 1984, the earliest festival poster documented and included in the organization’s archives. Throughout the festival's history, McUmber-House has designed an impressive 16 festival posters, including those for 1984, 1989-2001, 2006, and now the milestone 2026 celebration.

We recently had the opportunity to put these together for Farrar Hawthorne 4-H Cancer Bags and thought we’d share them here too!

These are pocket Faithful Fidgets.

CNC carved and finished by hand. Each one is unique and the best part…drop your favorite essential oil on them.

As you rub the cross or edge feeling the different textures it helps you relax and ground yourself. The essential oil is a major bonus.

We currently have them available and also offer bulk pricing. If you want to see one and learn more, let us know!
