What do we do?
Anything at all related to our love of fiber and the paces that we can put it through … weave, knit, spin, crochet, tat, quilt, ply split braid, kumihimo, etc., etc., etc. We also enjoy being in the company of like-minded friends, share tips, help one another and generally have a wonderful time. Promptly at 5pm each day, we break for a hard-earned rest with a snack filled happy hour, so that we are ready for dinner at 6. After dinner, we adjourn back to the lounge area for movie time and more comradery. Typically, we don’t stay up too late so that we get a good night’s sleep to be ready for breakfast at 8am the next day. All meals are included.
What is the timing?
Well, because we can’t wait to get started, we arrive on Monday morning and stay as long as we possibly can on Friday, which is typically 1-ish. It is absolutely possible to stay one or two nights … all four are not required.
What are the accommodations?
Included in our room fee, is a wonderful, HUGE, work room with attached kitchenette and lounge areas. You may choose to share a room or have a private. All rooms have a double and single bed and a private bath.
What is the cost?
$150.00 for a single
$130.00 for a double
$15.00 for the extra Monday lunch
$35.00 for coming for the day … includes lunch
How do I sign up?
An $30 per night deposit will hold a room for you. The full balance is due no later than the December Guild Meeting.
