Fiber artists from Garden Valley and beyond will gather at the Garden Valley School on Saturday, October 6th this year from 9:00—5:00 in the multi-purpose room. The theme for the faire is “Kids and Kitchens Through the Ages.” Vendors will offer items for sale if you are look-ing to do some early shopping for the holidays. There will also be displays with antique items. It is a good place to bring the family and learn a little about what fiber artists do and how things have changed over the years. Hands-on activities will be available in some of the booths. We hope to see you there. Everyone is welcome and it’s free. But, Moms especially, bring your daughters and other family mem-bers along and learn some new things or just enjoy all the antiques and new ideas that you are bound to see there.
