Through many years of trials and tribulations Cory and I, slowly started crafting our own arts and talents. It was through these years and many conversations with a tremendous amount of people; we realized how many people were lost and wanted to craft their own talents and abilities but didn’t know how or where to begin. Everywhere we looked we could see people slowly fall in line with the transformation after the industrial revolution and small businesses petering out.

Slowly an idea started to form within our minds and The Stoney Shire Project began to materialize. Our dream is to give others the opportunity to explore their talents and abilities on a large plot of land that is nostalgic and historically rich.

Bringing people back to an easier time with many workshops and trades of the past and present, mixed with an all-season marketplace and many other attractions is what this design encompasses. With performance art stages scattered throughout, campgrounds and events weekly, we are sure to attract the community and tourists to this museum-like enterprise.

This will give many entrepreneurs and our youth an excellent opportunity to explore their talents and sell their craft. However, this would be a tremendous cost to us if we were to try to achieve this alone. The whole design can only be accomplished by collaborating with many entrepreneurs and existing businesses and essentially just hosting satellite or smaller versions of their existing business on this plot of land.

We feel this is a necessity in our present era as we have been steering away from our core elements. Stoney Shire would have a large reach and hopefully inspire many other communities to work together and enlighten the spark of creativity and fulfillment once again.
