Fiber festival fun in May in Omak

Knitters, crocheters, spinners, weavers and fiber artists know that a beautiful result starts with high quality materials. Join the Okanogan Valley Fiber Association for a celebration of our excellent local yarns and the people who produce and work with them. This free event happens Saturday, May 17, 2014, at the Okanogan County Fairgrounds Commercial Building, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Bring your lawn chair and join a knitting or spinning circle, learn new fiber skills at a workshop, shop the local fiber products offered at the vendor area, and enjoy local music.

Do you create beautiful articles, but have never thought of yourself as a vendor? We’re especially interested in promoting great local products – consider a booth at the Fest. Local and small-scale vendors receive a substantial discount on vendor booth fees.

A special producer/vendor dinner and educational presentation about the value of knowing your micron count will be held Friday, May 16, at 5:30 p.m. at the Big R training room in Omak. Come join us!
