We've been busy ......... demonstrating at local Fall Fairs.

First it was Port Hope on the 19th and 20th of September.

Here's our display table - the theme this year was "Denim"

Then we were in Roseneath on the 26th of September ............ in the barn with the petting zoo and the noisy chickens.

September 2015 - Start of a New Season



Although some of us were still out and about, travelling all over........ some of us met for our first  official meeting of the new season.

We chatted and socialized, ate delicious treats, admired our hostess Anita's beautiful residence and also managed to make plans for our programmes for the year.

First and foremost will be the Port Hope Fall Fair, from September 18th to 20th. We will share a display table with the Northumberland Hooks and Needles Guild, just like every other year.
We will take turns on Saturday and Sunday with demonstrations of spinning and weaving.

Next, we will demonstrate at the Roseneath Fall Fair on the 26th of September. This will be out first experience at this Fair and we are looking forward to it. Maybe we will even get to ride on the Carousel.

In October, we hope to travel to the Buckhorn area for a basketry workshop. The date and times are still being arranged.

Here's a picture of us demonstrating at Cindy Osland's farm last season, during her hosting a farm tour.



Back again?

Just testing to see if this works.
The guild is still active and planning for the season.
