TROY - Doug Orcutt stays busy with his business, The Red Door Cottage, and he invites everyone to come by to check out the shop. Based at 116 S. Main Street in Troy, the store features crafts and wares from 38 different vendors. Orcutt said they have everything from tumblers to home decor to jewelry to soap.

Main Street for 15 years, but he opened The Red Door Cottage two years ago so he could collaborate with other crafters and artisans in the area. He immediately joine
