Attention Houston members

The following is info I came across about a local event happening next week. It seems to be women artisans and not heavily fiber centered, but I am going to see what there is to see and find out more about them as a group to see if it might be somewhere to take my wares in the future.

 

I am going on the 6th, I think. I would hate to miss something grand by going on a subsequent date.

Is this a yearly event? Has it already happened a second time (in 2006)? Just wondering.
