If I can only go one day, which day should I attend?
All three days are fun, of course.  Friday is best for workshops, demonstrations, vendors and celebrating our with our kickoff party with us.  Saturday has the contests, more demonstrations, and vendors.  Sunday is the day we raffle off our spinning wheel and do our swap meet.
            
What should I wear?
Comfortable shoes are the most important because vendors and events are outside. It’s a good idea to wear layers and have plenty of sunblock because the weather can change swiftly.  We've had rain, wind, and warm sun.
            
How can I find a particular vendor?
There is an information booth available to answer your questions.
