What are we about?

We're about the friendliest little fiber festival around!  We work to bring together small producers of fiber products and fiber fan(atic)s, and we have a great time doing it!

The festival is the last weekend in September each year, at the beautiful Ogemaw County Fairgrounds, near West Branch, Michigan.  Our website is fully updated with this year's class listing, events, logo merchandise, and lots more.  There will no longer be a print booklet; our website covers everything that was in the booklet, so we decided to save the time, trouble, and money a booklet requires. We plan to do one annual mailing each year, a postcard alerting you to the festival dates and providing the address of our website where the latest up-to-date festival information can be found. All festival events, workshops, and registration information, and more, will be found on the website. If you would like to receive our postcard, send email to Julie Hurd at lambandwool@gtlakes.com or phone 231 533-5464.

So much more than just fiber to be discovered here...	Our class schedule for 2013 is not complete yet, but we have some plans for additional "make-and-take" mini classes and demonstrations.  Schedule/instructors should be finalized by May. Our vendors are signing up already (and filling the vendor halls fast - be sure to get your application in and paid for soon!).
	It just doesn't get any friendlier than this...  There's always someone around to give advice, demonstrate techniques, or just sit and chat for a while (our favorite!)

Be sure to let us know if you'd be interested in joining our family as a volunteer to help before, during, or after the festival. Many hands make light work!

Speaking of volunteers, we hope you enjoy the many wonderful pictures from our 2009 to 2012 festivals, taken by roving photographer Teri Dougherty. She has captured the essence of our festival - fun, fiber, and friends!
