Hey, weavers, spinners & dyers! We are in need of one or two more people to demonstrate this Friday, Oct. 4, at Cowtown! This is a fun event - it's Education Day, so groups of school kids stop for a few minutes to see demos and ask questions. You may end up saying the same things over and over, but we guarantee you'll get different comments all day! 😊 Nancy Squire is planning to be there, but it's better to have at least two. If you can only do morning or afternoon, that would be fine, too! Please message if you can help, and we'll get you the details.
