About the Vendor: Croix Valley's seeds were sewn in a small kitchen in the Northwoods of Wisconsin in 1996 when our family opened a steakhouse and began serving every meal with a side of our homemade steak sauce. After a decade of requests to bottle and sell it for home use, we began packaging our Original Steak Sauce for the retail market in 2009 and brought Croix Valley to life working out of a tiny leased space in the back of a meat market in our home town of Hudson, Wisconsin.
Croix Valley Foods moved beyond that first steak sauce to include marinades, barbecue sauces, dry rubs, Bloody Mary Seasonings and more. We have continuously outgrown our production spaces after our first year and a half in business, constantly trying to keep up with demand. In 2022, we broke ground on a shiny new 20,000 square foot production facility in Hudson and moved into the new World Headquarters in March of 2023 that will serve us for years to come. As one of the fastest-growing BBQ Brands in the country, Croix Valley products can be found in BBQ Supply shops, hardware & home improvement stores, meat markets, specialty food shops and grocery stores across the globe. Croix Valley products can be found across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and we are working on expansions in South and Central America, Asia, the Middle East and beyond. Our products are continuously finding acclaim and winning awards and we invite you to find out what's turning the backyard barbecue enthusiast into the seasoned Pitmaster at the helm of grills and smokers from coast to coast.
We'll See Ya' Around the Grill!

About the Vendor: At PS Seasoning, our craft is flavor. For generations, we’ve dedicated ourselves to crafting the most memorable flavor profiles and experiences. To us, it’s more than just food. No matter what you are creating, we know it will be enjoyed and remembered to the very last bite.
FOUR GENERATIONS WITH A PASSION FOR FLAVOR
Founder Harold Hanni was born during the midst of the Great Depression in 1931. To stretch their resources during those times, the Hanni family relied on old world cheese and sausage making skills passed down from Harold's father. When Harold returned from serving in the Korean War, he had a renewed interest in the art of sausage making, which he passed down to his five sons.
Harold’s passion for the craft inspired him to build a homemade smoker from an old chest freezer. On a cold Wisconsin day in 1976, Harold’s homemade chest freezer smoker caught fire and nearly burned the house down. This near disaster inspired Harold to design a safe way for the home sausage maker to smoke sausage. Harold’s pursuit of a safe smoker became a reality with the Model 100, thus forming Pro Smoker 'N Roaster.
Harold's son Ken and his wife Kate formalized the family’s love of sausage making in 1986 by officially incorporating PS Seasoning. Harold was the model for the company’s trademarked mascot. The cartoon icon of Lil' Harry became synonymous with old world flavor and craftsmanship.
TODAY
PS Seasoning continues to carry on old-world flavors and traditions of the past, while also building on that knowledge to push the boundaries of flavor. Our passion is not only great tasting food, but the moments that are made in the kitchen and at the dinner table.
Today, our library has grown to over 3,000 seasoning blends with 30 million units of product made annually. Available to both wholesale and retail markets, our offerings are designed for sausage making, BBQ, culinary and more.

We blended the bold flavor of KC with the tangy taste of the Carolinas to create something special. Coming straight off the competition circuit, we call it Mason-Dixon style because it was both northern and southern BBQ roots. We named it Copperhead due to its color and bite. This complex sauce uses the brown sugar, tomato, smoke and pepper flavors from KC. We then blend those with the apple cider vinegar, mustard and spices from traditional Carolina sauces. Fire up the smoker, but don’t let the Copperhead bite you.
All Natural. No High Fructose Corn Syrup. No MSG.

About the Vendor: Born from competitive grilling and incorporated in 2002, Fat Boy BBQ was created to market rubs used in competition. The skills mastered in these competitions and the knowledge obtained from other barbeque experts lead to the development of our all natural barbeque products.
After traveling much of the United States, we became educated on the benefits of using rubs in grilling and smoking meats to keep them juicy and tender. After using various meat rubs already available on the market, we developed one more suited to our operation. As more and more people became acquainted with our grilled and smoked meats, the request to purchase the rub became more frequent, and the company was formed to market it.
Over time this one rub evolved into our current line of fifteen rubs, several of which have won national awards. Each is distinctive in taste, heat level, and texture. Our rubs seal the meat surface to offer a juicy and flavorful meat product. They also make a great seasoning for a variety of casseroles, vegetables, and prepared meat dishes.
Fueled by the popularity of our rubs the company expanded to include a new concept in barbecue sauces. Unlike some sauces on the market, our variety of nine Kansas City, Southern and Southwest-style sauces are thick with seasonings and a fullness of flavor that delights the taste buds. The line also includes an apple cider honey mustard sauce.
As we continue to write our history, our goal is to provide you with quality products that will help you rub it, slap it, smoke it, sauce it and eat it.

About the Vendor: The heart of Terrapin Ridge Farms comes from my love of entertaining. I grew up in a family that loved to host parties – our annual Holiday Open House was legendary. My friends loved to hang out at our house and everybody was extra excited when it was Aunt Rosie’s (my mom’s) turn to host the holiday party. She made it look so easy. Her secret was a laid back style and effortless, great-tasting food. The spread looked and tasted like she fussed for days.
I discovered early on I inherited this love of entertaining and ultimately this love is what has drawn me into the world of specialty food. After 10 years in the specialty food industry, I ventured out to buy a small specialty food brand with budding potential. I reached out to a friend of 22 years, and fellow Cleveland native, Brian Coughlin, in July of 2010 and together we purchased the Terrapin Ridge Farms brand. Our brand has grown from a handful of items to over 84 great selling products including savory jams, garnishing aioli squeezes, mustards, dips, dressings, sauces, and now grill and wing sauces. We have developed a reputation as a truly original, high quality food creator. Our team is made up of passionate foodies with the goal to deliver on creating a memorable and positive experience that can be shared with loved ones, turning simple into unforgettable.
