As the days grow longer and the tour buses start to arrive, one piece of merchandise that seems to fly out the door in the shopping bag of each grandparent is our Wildthings Sanp-On T-shirt for kids. In hot pink, this shirt features butterflies. In navy blue, the focus is dinosaurs. With glow in the dark print – both shirts have Colorado National Monument emblazoned across the sleeve. A product as popular and irresistible as this, deserves a background story. Without further ado, here is CNMA’s buyer, Denise Hight with Meet the Vendor, the story behind the product.
