Family Fun at Fiber ArtsFest

Category:Events

Get hooked on Fiber ArtsFest, where you can unravel the mysteries of fiber art, one stitch at a time. The free event occurs on Saturday, September 30, between 9 and 3 p.m. in Johnson Hall at the Huntingdon County Fairgrounds.Β 

Visitors will see demonstrations of fiber arts skills, such as spinning, rug hooking, and wire wrapping. There will be β€œMake & Takes” for all ages to try their hands at. And vendors will offer a variety of fiber arts items for sale. Plus you can meet some gentle alpacas, whose wool produces some of the world’s finest yarn.Β 

For additional interest, live music will be happening all day. A list of performers and times accompanies this article.Β 

After attending the festival, you can take a short walk to the Huntingdon County Fair Farm Museum, which will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. And if you get hungry or thirsty, the 4-H Club will be selling food and beverages throughout the day.Β 

Best of all: Attendance is free. So weave your way to the Fairgrounds and discover the colorful world of fiber art, where sew much fun awaits you. To paraphrase Forrest Gump, knit happens!

Classes

In addition to the one day festival, there are two days of full-day and half-day classes on September 29 and 30. Class topics include: Brioche Knitting, Fair Isle Knitting, Blocking, Crochet a Cap, Decorative Knot Tying, Making Cards and Journals with Fabric, Twiddle Muffs, Wire Wrapping, plus Moon Dance Revival Quilt for advanced quilters, and Quilted Rail Fence Table Mat for those who want to learn to quilt. Registration is still open for most classes.Β
