Pat Catan's is the Michael's Arts & Crafts of Ohio. It is also a whole lot bigger and cheaper. I don't care how many stores Michael's operates, they pale in comparison to Pat Catan's. There is more random crap to delight the senses at Pat Catan's than even the best Michael's store can offer. I'm talking barn stars, mini-cornhole boards, and gigantic coffee mugs. Sure they have the basic crafting supplies like beads and glue but why get that boring stuff when you can get kissing salt & pepper shakers in the shape of chihuahuas!
I've stopped going to Michael's. Their pathetic 40% coupons that are never valid on the good stuff. Like this tub o' buttons I picked up the other day. I found it almost immediately at Pat Catan's and didn't have to ask some bored college kid for help. When I got home I set my precious tub o' buttons on the table and marveled at it. Then I shook it like a rattle, held it up to the light like a kaleidoscope, and as the buttons happily clicked against each other I wondered who is the person that decides what types of buttons go into a tub o' buttons? Is this person a button designer? What kind of quality control does this company have for their buttons? I shook my tub some more and said "Pat Catan's" repeatedly in an excited whisper because it has such a nice ring to it. Don't you think?

OK, I'll bite: what are mini-cornhole boards?
Well, Cornhole is a game we play a lot during the summer. Plywood boards with a hole cut in the middle toward the top we throw beanbags at them. It's like horseshoes.
So the boards are just smaller and if you have enough indoor space you can play when the weather is bad. it's more challenging too.
