First up, on Friday August 10, we participated in the Hastings Fibre Festival. There were several different groups represented, and as with all things organized by Skye, there was a fun craft activity.
Dianne gave a talk about our group and the OHCG, and several other folks spoke. Most notably was a saffron farmer from Northumberland County. Who knew? Click here to read more about his adventure.
On hand from our group were Dianne, Judy C, Sheila and Gillian.
Here's a link to an article from a local news outlet about the day's events.
As if that wasn't enough, Saturday dawned (very) early for our folks as we had a table at the Port Hope Arts Festival. This was put on in conjunction with the Port Hope Farmers Market. We even sold a few items, and there was a lot of interest in several hooked items that weren't for sale!
On hand from our group were Dianne, Judy P, Claire, Brenda, Francine.
...and then, we participated in Lang Pioneer Village's Fibrelicious, celebrating food and fibre activities. There were several demonstrations taking place, in addition to us hookers, including embroidery, basket making, cheese making, sheep sheering, etc, as well as many yarn-y vendors in the new barn. Food was good, too!
Representing our group were Dianne, Judy C, Denise C, Claire and me (Jennifer)!
