Hello, FiberNetters, Holly's workshop list reminded me to send you info about this new event.
Mary ------- The First Annual Southern Adirondack Fiber Festival will take place September 26 and 27, 2009, at the Washington County Fairgrounds, Greenwich, New York. The organizers are well along in planning for the event, and it's really shaping up. They'd like to have at least 60 fiber vendors of all kinds at the Festival, along with exhibits of fiber critters. In addition, the Festival will feature workshops and demonstrations. The Washington County Fair is my personal home fairgrounds, and I've shown sheep there off and on for nearly 20 years. I can attest to its excellent facilities and management. I've already applied to be a vendor. The Fair regularly hosts craft and antique shows and other events. The surrounding agricultural countryside is lovely, yet it's only a 20 minute drive from Interstate 90, near Saratoga Springs. For more information, including an application to be a vendor, check out the Fair's web site. http://www.washingtoncountyfair.com/FiberFestivalWebAd.htm Please do put the Southern Adirondack Fiber Festival on your calendar. And if you're a vendor, the application's right on the Fair's web site. Mary @ Elihu Farm Romney and crossbred sheep.
