“Trade Secrets, after a two-year Covid-19-inspired hiatus, picked up
again in 2022 in a new location, Lime Rock Park, in Lakeville,
Connecticut. Surrounded by the beauty of the Litchfield Hills, the Park
welcomed people from all over the country to this lovely setting. Veteran
attendees reconnected with old friends and favorite vendors. New
patrons discovered the wide range of treasures offered. Everyone enjoyed
the hospitality and beauty of the venue, which helps make Trade Secrets
so special,” said Project Sage Executive Director Elizabeth Mauro.
“Our move of the Trade Secrets event to Lime Rock Park in
Salisbury was a huge success. I have often felt that as the event
has grown, this is where we should be. The facilities of the Park
make it much more convenient for all attending, both in parking

co-founder Bunny Williams.
