Last month, Memphis-based Hunter Fan Company hosted this year’s Antique Fan Collectors Association “Fan Fair 2025.” More than 100 people attended, and local officials spoke about Hunter’s positive impact on the local community. Hunter Fan Company is a family business founded in 1886, and family members participated in the celebration, including Jim Hunter, great-grandson of Hunter Fan founder John Hunter.
According to a blog post written by Katia Garcia, “One of the most inspiring moments came when John Andrews, owner of Texas Ceiling Fans and Mike Devereaux took the stage together. They are visionaries behind the Hunter History Book and Museum. Together they documented Hunter’s history dating back to its early roots. Captivating the audience, their storytelling painted a vivid picture of how Hunter’s craftsmanship has endured, evolving with time yet never losing its heart.”
Current president Tom Blackwell also addressed the group, according to Garcia, with a presentation of the company’s latest innovations.

Mindful of rising real estate costs and changing lifestyles, Kalco Lighting is courting budget-conscious consumers with high-design styles that won’t break the bank. Here are three statement pieces it is highlighting, all in the $500 or less price range:
The Ponti Collection is a nod to mid-century design with small cone-shaped diffusers and a two-tone matte black with new brass finish. It retails for between $98 and $538.
The Cupola Collection juxtaposes matte black finishes with bubble glass. Available as a chandelier, foyer light, semi flush and wall sconce, Cupola’s elongated dome shade and soft industrial styling “adds modern personality with a slightly edgy twist,” Kalco said. Prices range from $194 to $586.
And the Milo Collection is an Art Deco-inspired fixture (available as a mini pendant or wall sconce for under $500) available in either a sleek matte black with vintage brass or a warm white finish with brass details. It sells for $220- $246.
