Paschke • AP Global sales of licensed merchandise and services rebounded last year to pre-pandemic levels, surpassing the $300 billion milestone, according to an industry study. From 2019 to 2021 the industry’s sales increased at a 7.75% growth rate from the $292 8 billion mark in 2019 to $315.5 billion in sales, according to the study conducted by Brandar Consulting LLC, a brand consulting and market research firm for Licensing International an industry trade group. The study wasn’t done in 2020 because of the pandemic’s impact. Still that growth lagged behind the projected 8 2% rate for the two-year period because of the drags on the economy that affected the entertainment music and fashion licensed property sectors, among others The report which includes two years’ worth of economic data product market data and compa ny level financials, noted new theatrical film and show releases stalled as they waited for more normalized production schedules. That created a shortage of big hit properties from 2020 to mid-2021. Shoppers, retailers and licensees, faced with such a dearth of new entertainment content moved more toward evergreen properties including well established names like Sesame Street.

Dear Annie: My daughter and her husband have two darling toddler girls who I adore. Their parents had no plans for child care when the first was born and just assumed I would step up. Now the girls are in day care because caring for them full time was too much for me. I still watch them when day care is occasionally canceled or the parents go out and often just spend time with them forDayfun. care works out well, except when the kids are sick and can't go. When this happens, they sometimes ask me to watch the children. My daughter is paid hourly and has little sick time. Her husband sometimes travels or has important meetings. They live modestly but do have disposable income. Annie, I am 68 and have elderly family and friends I see frequently, as well as other grandchildren. While I sympathize with my daughter and son-in-law, I don't feel right about potentially carrying germs around after caring for sick kids. I have explained this to the parents several times, but they are starting to talk about the cost of missing work and hint that I am not very helpful or supportive. I feel so guilty! Is there a better way for me to explain this to them or, alternatively, stop feeling so terrible about it? I love them all so much and do want to be reasonable. - Sad Nana in Idaho Dear Sad Nana: To answer your question, no, there is not a better way to explain this. But that doesn't mean you should be feeling terrible. The COVID pandemic has put a lot of things into perspective -- including how irresponsible it is to expose yourself to viruses and then engage with the rest of the world, especially vulnerable populations like senior citizens or young children.Still,sick children do need to be cared for, but luckily, there are other options. Some hospitals have programs that provide care for sick kids with working parents. Or perhaps they can find a local babysitter who is more comfortable interacting with a sick child. If all else fails, your son-in-law may have to miss one of his "important meetings.""HowCan I Forgive My Cheating Partner?" is out now!

are an opportunity to display the end result of their hard work. From the red, white, and blue quilts to the intricately decorated cakes, from the wooden fishing pole holders to the posters displaying cuts of meat –youth take pride in the tangible items they present to help explain their learning.Foryouth enrolled in animal projects, this showcase is no different. Just do not let yourself be fooled as the animals are certainly worth seeing. Because the true product county fairs are raising are the kids holding the halters or cages, not the show animals standing inside of them. For at the end of the fair, not every kid will win the biggest ribbon, but they will take the skills they have acquired and apply them to their own passion. Because yes, 4-H will end and youth will some day experience their final walk around the sale ring or project judging day. But take great pride in those county fairs. For when done successfully, our Missouri youth will know what it is like to dedicate purpose, hard work, and learning towards any lifetime goal. To help support Missouri 4-H members this summer, stop by the 4-H Building or a livestock show at the Missouri State Fair. Youth will be presenting demonstrations, maneuvering around the ring or barn, and sending their 4-H projects for display from August 11 th through the 21 st in Sedalia. 4-H staff will also have plenty of information about 4-H enrollment, which will start on October 1st.

Main Street Mercantile is located at 905 Main Street in Trenton, MO, and opens at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday-Saturday. To learn more about Main Street Mercantile, visit Facebook and find the Main Street Mercantile page, or search for other business Facebook pages the Mercantile has. Shawna said, “We love to hear from customers and to answer questions anyone may have about our products.”
Located in downtown Trenton, MO, Main Street Mercantile houses ten small businesses offering local shopping and services that include everything from women’s clothing and accessories, home décor, porch and garden décor refurbished furniture, hand-made wooden signs, wooden flower arrangements, pasture-raised beef, earrings, hand-made wreaths, baby clothing and items, bathy and body, cupcakes and sweets, plus so muchEachmore.small business not only has a storefront for its products, but most take custom orders individually, which adds a personal touch. Established by Trenton Downtown association in 2019, Shawna Tabbert and Amanda Jawahir took ownership in April 2020. “We truly have something for everyone,” said Shawna. “It’s our hope to provide our community with as many resources as possible under one roof. When you walk into our store, you will find something that suits everyone’s style, and I love that we have a one-stop shop for the best giftMainitems.”Street Mercantile’s primary goal is to provide items/services that people may not have access to in a small town. Their slogan, “Love What’s Local,” is truly something the Mercantile promotes and lives by. Main Street Mercantile donates to several organizations, no matter how big or small, to keep the community thriving. Shawna said, “We all impact each other, and when we work together, we impact our town as a whole.” Main Street Mercantile also puts on a few events downtown to create traffic and bring small businesses together. This helps Main Street Mercantile and other small businesses create exposure. One event has been the launch of “Merchants on Main,” which first started last May. This farmers market-style event has small businesses, artisans, and food trucks on Main Street every third Thursday of the month for individuals to shop and eat. “While this is still a work in progress and we are still navigating changes that need to be made, we are proud to have started yet another event downtown,” said Shawna.When the Mercantile first opened in 2019, eight vendors, including Amanda and Shawna, were only open Thursday-Saturday. Since then, Main Street Mercantile has added several more businesses and is now open Tuesday-Saturday. One of the newest additions is Farmhouse Table, which will provide a number of frozen prepared meals and easy-to-go lunches. Almost a year ago, Shawna and Amanda applied and were approved for a grant allowing the Mercantile to change in several ways. One of these changes will be creating a strong online presence that allows Main Street Mercantile to feature and highlight vendors enabling the customer to understand the vendor’s backstory and business. Shawna said, “This will be a huge step in knowing what Mercantile stands for.”Brainstorming with the Economic Vitality Board, another possible change for the future has been the discussion of the pursuit of a second location. However, if the second location becomes a reality, it will not be connected to Main Street Mercantile. Shawna said, “We have limited space in our shop and have multiple small businesses reaching out to us for a ‘booth space,’ and because we can't accommodate them at the moment, we have to put names on a waiting list. We think it would be very beneficial for our community to have a separate space to house more small businesses that will potentially invest in our town and become an entity of their own. This is not a decision made or discussed in depth, but just an idea for the future.”
