Booth #15 - Ronald McDonald House Charities on Behalf of "Super" Wyatt Walker and the Walker Family of Murphys
This year the Murphys Witch Walk is proud to support Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern California in our fundraising efforts in honor of 9-year old Wyatt Walker of Murphys.
“Super” Wyatt, as he has come to be known due to his resilience to adversity, was diagnosed in December 2021 with Medulloblastoma Brain Cancer, at which time he underwent emergency surgery to remove the tumor from his brain. Over these 10-months, Wyatt continues to receive ongoing treatment, the progress of which you can follow by joining the “Super Wyatt” Facebook group his parents, James and Carrie, set-up for him at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/312873447557450
Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern California have been integral in helping Wyatt and his family, as they stay at Ronald McDonald House accommodations sometimes for as long as 6+ weeks at a time, whenever they have to travel from Murphys to UC Davis for Wyatt to receive treatment. On some of these occasions, the family has to stay in special Ronald McDonald House apartment accommodations due to the fact that Wyatt is immunocompromised.
According to Wyatt’s dad, James, “I can’t think of any one charity that has been more helpful and accomodating to our needs than Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern California. To have so much stress alleviated when traveling the great distances from Murphys to UC Davis for when Wyatt needs repeated and long term treatment that requires longer than normal hospital stays, has been a blessing.”
The Murphys Witch Walk is grateful that Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern California will be participating in the vendor bazaar at the 6th Annual Murphys Witch Walk and you can meet their wonderful crew at booth 15 in the Native Sons Hall. Please donate whatever you can.
The Murphys Witch Walk proud and honored to welcome Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern California to the event this year and it is with even greater pride we announce we will be donating a portion of raffle and vendor bazaar entry tickets, as well as merchandise sales, to Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern California in honor of “Super” Wyatt Walker and the Walker Family.
UPDATE: October 12, 2022: James Walker, Cartoonist, and Super Wyatt’s Dad, has opted to make unscheduled personal appearances throughout the day at the Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern California, booth 15, for meet-and-greets, cartooning sessions and to discuss Super Wyatt’s progress. James has told us Super Wyatt himself may, and the keyword here is MAY, depending upon the little guy’s strength and stamina, make an appearance at the Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern California booth 15 for 30 to 45 minutes to pose for pictures sometime in the afternoon after 1 pm.

Booth #21 - Elemental Magikk. Artists Catherine and Douglas Gaston.
The Murphys Witch Walk is proud to host Elemental Magikk, purveyors of fine crystal wands. These are all handmade and designed by Catherine and Douglas Gaston with sacred intention and blessings.
Catherine offers a detailed explanation about the design intention of one of their staffs. “How do you like to connect with nature? I love a walk in the woods or by a river. Here is one of our new staffs. This staff has a Pine Wood shaft which is said to be imbued with protective energies. Pine enhances endurance: both of the mind and spirit and helps with ‘staying the course’ during difficult times. This staff is topped with a stunning Bloodstone orb and inlaid with pieces of Bloodstone. This beautiful green stone has flecks of red throughout, reminding you of the power within you. Bloodstone is known for helping one to more easily accept change. Bloodstone also helps us to begin recognizing that growth comes through experiencing difficult situations and challenges, which allow us to fear less and see that growth and beauty that can flourish when we overcome adversity.”

Booth #22 - Beverly Trengove, who established Dem Bones in 2010, has had a long time love affair with Halloween, Day of The Dead, Witchy, Spooky Things and all things that go bump in the night. She love creating fun, spooky and semi-demented new products and that’s shy we like her…
Beverly grew up in a rural area in Northern California and was nurtured in clashing traditions. Hispanic on one side where she attended a bilingual school, participated in Posadas, Bailes Folklórico and building Ofrendas - and uniquely Northern Californian on the other side of the family, with Surfing, Punk Rockers, Vegetarians, and Deadheads. All of this has culminated in her unique perspective of tradition and her addiction to all things Skeleton (Day of the Dead and Halloween).
Beverly has a degree in Applied Art and Design and she spent most of her life as a graphic and packaging designer. After relocating back to Northern California, she reinvented herself and went back to the things that she loves.
DemBones is dedicated to celebrating the dead everyday with tea, sugar cubes, ceramics and accessories. Come and brew some magic!
Find Beverly and Her, I mean, Dem Bones at booth 22 at the Native Sons Hall.

Booth #24 - Katizzi Jewelry. Kate and Izzi Wentworth.
Katizzi is a portmanteau for Kate and Izzi, the husband and wife team behind this unique jewelry design company that will be appearing at the Vendor Bazaar at the Murphys Witch Walk in booth 24.
Katizzi designs and creates original jewelry that combines beautiful, natural woods and handmade (by Kate and Izzi) Murano lampwork glass beads. The places they lived and traveled, along with the people they’ve met, inspire their original designs… more on that in a moment.
For us, the Murphys Witch Walk producers, when we met Kate and Izzi, we felt a certain comforting vibe from their captivatingly beautiful three dimensional designs, as their work appears as hybrid avant-garde art deco with an Erté-like influence-meets-the serenity of sacred geometry.
Every piece Katizzi creates sparks a joyful memory for Kate and Izzi and that joy seems to transcend the design for the wearer. Kate and Izzi have partnered with One Tree Planted, Save Our Shores, and Planet Bee to support reforestation, the protection of Monterey Bay, and STEM education.
Katizzi is an environmentally friendly business and part of the Eco Alliance. They use only sustainably harvested wood, recyclable packaging, and their glass supplier uses 100% green power and also plants trees.
And regarding the inspiration from the people they meet? Katizzi assures us they’ll have some spook-tacular designs when they appear at the Vendor Bazaar, so I guess that makes us Influencers.
