Hospitality Area & Activities

Celebrate our 13th annual festival with us:

Sit and rest before, during, and after shopping, meet friends, have your lunch, sit and spin or knit, enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee or tea, show off your projects or purchases - Hospitality is for you.

Of course it takes a lot of people power to make something this big happen, so contact Hospitality Chair Teresa Harrison, if you'd like to help out. She can use assistance Friday afternoon to help set up, Saturday and Sunday to staff the area, and Sunday afternoon to tear down. See our Volunteer Page for the benefits you receive as a NML&WF volunteer
