The
PA Endless Mountains Fiber Festival planning committee in conjunction
with Penn State Extension is always looking for volunteers to assist with
planning and marketing of the annual fiber and fiber-related show for
the Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The Harford Fairgrounds are reserved for September 6 & 7, 2008 for
the fifth annual event.
The gate will be open to the public Saturday 10
am - 5 pm and Sunday 10 am - 4 pm. Admission is $3 each person over age
12.
Planning
meetings are scheduled for the third Monday of each month at New Milford
Borough Building at 125 Main Street, New Milford (next to Savage's Funeral
Home). Meetings start at 7:00 p.m. The group continually plans and brainstorms
to develop a marketing plan for vendor and visitor participation. Ideas
for the website are discussed and updates are made.
The
festival includes raw and processed fibers, yarn, clothing, spinning &
weaving supplies, fiber arts and crafts, sheep skin products, and more.
There are vendors, exhibitors, animals, workshops and demostrations. Vendors
participate from throughout the Northeastern United States. As the Festival
continues to grow, the goal is to have 100 exhibitors participating in
the festival.
If
you have an interest in helping with the festival, please, contact us
or join us at our next monthly meeting.
WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO MAKE THE FIBER FESTIVAL A SUCCESS AND WE NEED
YOUR HELP TO DO IT!
