I am a little late in posting, but WHEW! what a great time we had for our 5th annual Southern Indiana FiberArts Festival!!  Our first year for 2 official days - and a crowd of near 1000 over the two days despite chilly temps and drizzle on Friday. 

The soap workshop was particularly popular - we might offer it twice next year, so keep your eyes open for the list sometime in January!

A few new vendors joined us from around the region, some new to festival vending so we definitely had some great things not available anyplace else :)  Spaces are already filling fast for next year, so if you need an application, email fiberexchangeguildATyahooDOTcom and request one,

We have a great project already in the works for SIFAF 2010 ... more details to follow, but i promise it is fun and exciting!!

Gatherings update: Hobknobb Roasting Company Coffeehouse 1st Saturday, 2pm; Grinny Possum Fiber Arts Shop 3rd Sunday, 1pm.

I have been planning to blog about festival planning and such.  I planned to do that Sunday evening and as you may know, Sunday afternoon we had a huge wind storm that created a lot of damage across many states - from the hurricane on the coast northward.

Just so you all know, festival plans are still moving along quite well - we are looking to welcome a huge crowd ;)  The fairgrounds is in good shape and I (along with MANY MANY more folks) am without electric at home.  Please be patient if you are emailing about the festival or are a vendor.  I am in town at the library every day to check email.

See you in Octboer - if not before ;)
