Happy Wade-ing Commissions
We have been commissioning Wade products since 2000 when we hosted the first Kansas City Wade Fair. We commissioned a set of armadillo whimsies as the fair was held at the Brass Armadillo Antique Mall in Grain Valley, Missouri. Here you will find commissions done by Ed and Bev Rucker under their names or under their Happy Wade-ing brand.

Also take a look at our other gallery for the commissions we did under the KSWader brand name.
