Fiber Art Festival-Crystal Lake, IL in July

[CLLinda]

As I was reading my local paper, the Northwest Herald, I found an article about a Fiber Art Festival in Crystal Lake, Illinois. It's called the Midwest Fiber and Folk Art Fair and will offer classes, booths, and much more.

It's being sponsored by Interweave.

 

The date is July 20th to July 22nd. It sounds like it should be great.

 

It's the first one, so it should be interesting. It will be on the grounds of the Lakeside Legacy park in Crystal Lake.

 

For further information, you can go to www.fiberandfolk.com or you can contact Carold Cassidy-Fayer at (815) 276-2537.

 

Check out that website. It is awesome!

 

I know I will be calling. It seems like something I would really enjoy and there may be others who would like to come out to our fair city. The Lakeside Legacy Park is about a block from Crystal Lake. It's a really nice park.

 

If I find out more information, I will let you know.

 

So who's coming out here to Crystal Lake? It looks like one great weekend!

I told my crochet group about it, and we may be planning an "outing" there. Thx for the info.

That sounds like a lot of fun! If only I lived closer .

Wow, that's interesting. My mother grew up in Crystal Lake. Interesting to think of something neat like that going on in the same town where my relatives used to crochet away... ^-^

I don't know if that would be possible, but just to let you know, Crystal Lake is only 30 minutes from the Wis/IL border.

 

Come on down. Check out the website in my signature. I signed up for three classes.

 

I can't wait. I am taking the weekend off from my family! I plan on volunteering, learning, and crocheting all weekend. I just love the fact it is in my town! I am very lucky.

 

Come to the Fiber and Folk Art Fest. It should be a blast. The Lakeside Center is in a beautiful tree shaded park, about a block and a half from the Crystal Lake lake. It has a great beach, very nice playground, and great scenery. There will be plenty of food, venders and other things. Check out the website. You may want to sign up for classes because they are filling up fast.

OMG I just got back from fiber fest I thought I would be there about 2 hours or so but 6 hours later we were still shopping it was like yarn heaven!! every few steps I took all I kept saying was Ohh and Aww like when you watch fireworks, if anyone can make the final day tommorrow you will not be disappointed, and prices are so good I got bargain yarn $1 a skein, and worsted weight yarn $5 a pound bag 100 percent wool. I also bought some good stuff too hand dyed mohair and some other super soft hand dyed also a beautiful wooden hook size M I like big hooks. Now I will have to save up for Jefferson Sheep and Wool fest alot of the vendors said they will be there too! I really learned alot all the vendors were so nice and loved to explain what they were knitting or crocheting or spinning.
