Filiberto Perez-Mendoza was born in Mixquiahuala, Hidalgo, Mexico. Filiberto’s artwork takes a critical view of social, political, and cultural issues. In his work, he deconstructs long-held beliefs of our culture. Having engaged subjects as diverse as Aztec figures and Mexican culture, Filiberto’s work reproduces familiar visual signs, arranging them into new conceptually layered pieces. Filiberto’s work has been shown all over Long Island. @filibertoperez42

Sueey Gutierrez is a New York-based artist of Salvadoran-Mayan heritage. Her vibrant works explore the complexities of identity, culture, and memory through her dynamic artworks that blend elements of traditional and contemporary art.

Manuel Alejandro Macarrulla is a painter, printmaker, and mask maker whose work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in New York and throughout the U.S. and the Dominican Republic. His work with figures in settings relating to his native Dominican Republic, or other real or imagined places, integrates cultural significance and magic realism.

Alejandro and Maria Gonzalez along with their son Salvador have been residents of the Town of Huntington since 1989. Their career in the restaurant industry started in 1994 when they had the opportunity to open their first restaurant in East Northport called "Little Caboose.” Two years later they opened "Oaxaca Mexican Food Treasure," leaving "Little Caboose" a year later. In 2007, they opened "Quetzalcoatl" and in 2012 "Chichimecas” in Farmingdale. In 2018, the doors of Chichimeca closed and in 2020 Quetzalcoatl closed, leaving only Oaxaca open. The Gonzalezs have contributed to the community in many ways including making donations to various organizations and participating in forums and talks on the philosophy and culture of ancient Mexico. <a href="https://oaxacarestaurantli.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">oaxacarestaurantli</a>

Last Spring, <a href="https://johnscrazysocks.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">John&rsquo;s Crazy Socks</a> came home to Huntington Village. Now, John and Mark Cronin, the father-and-son team that founded John&rsquo;s Crazy Socks, have reimagined and rebranded their store as the <a href="https://wahooomarket.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Wahooo Market by John</a>. We offer more than socks; you will find apparel, jewelry, home items, food (candy, cookies, and coffee), and fabulous gift products. You join the fun at 328A Main Street in Huntington Village. 
Shopping at the Wahooo Market by John is an experience. Yes, you will find products you love, but just stepping into the store will make you feel happy. Visitors tell us that the store makes them smile and lifts their spirits. You will meet John and our Sock Wranglers and help us employ people with differing abilities. 
John&rsquo;s Crazy Socks Gave Us a Foundation. Wahooo Market by John is New and Offers More
Wahooo Market grows directly out of ten years of building John's Crazy Socks. When we started that business, it was just the two of us, John and Mark, selling socks to make people happy. Over time, we expanded that mission to include hiring people with differing abilities and showing what they can do.
Now we're expanding again, moving beyond socks to include more products you will love, products for yourself and to give as gifts. It's still the two of us, father and son, leading the business. We want to reach more people and have a bigger impact.
Showing What People with Differing Abilities Can Do
As we grew John's Crazy Socks, we began hiring people with differing abilities. Today, more than half of our colleagues have a differing ability. With Wahooo Market, we want to create more jobs and reach more people, continuing to hire people with differing abilities as we grow.
At Wahooo Market, we sell gift items made by people with differing abilities, or by organizations that employ them. We carry books, some written by us, that are written by, for, and about people with differing abilities.
By opening a retail store, we've created a platform for bringing people together. We employ more people in more roles. We offer tours because it's important for people with differing abilities to see people like themselves working, it gives them hope and encouragement.
And there is so much more we can do with our store. We hold birthday parties. We hold information sessions on how to find a job or start a business. We hold parties and special events. It has already become a gathering place and an important part of the Huntington Village community.
Come for a visit. We are located at 328A Main Street in Huntington Village. Look for the sign out front. Come through the gate, walk down the short path, and enter a world full of joy.
