The Tesseract, our new fiber building, is nearing completion and we have planned a celebration, a Natural Fiber Showcase and Barn Dance with Pam Weeks and Ti'Acadie.
The new building was possible with the support of grants from Farms for the Future and a REAP federal grant. The building has solar hot water for washing wool and a radiant floor, a dye kitchen, and a learning center.
Friday, October 22 we will open the showcase at 10am featuring a wide variety of items including handspun yarn, needlework, hooked and woven rugs, basketry, and more. At 2pm there will be a press conference. The public is invited.
Saturday, October 23, open 10a to 4pm with a Farmers Market, donuts and coffee from Beeps Bakery, hot soup for lunch, a pot luck supper with the awards for the showcase, and a Barn dance at 7pm. Pam Weeks will lead some contradancing. Tickets available now are $10. Children 14 and under are free. Grandchildren will provide farm tours of the new pole barn, sheep grazing, and new fencing and pasture area.
Sunday, October 24th, 10a to 2p will be Fiber Community Day. Join us with some needle work, fiber to spin, or hand work. Relax, visit, enjoy, create.
