*FREE EVENT* New York’s 16 Annual “Washington County Fiber Tour” is May 3 & 4, 2008, 10am-5pm rain or shine.  Visit 14 fiber farms and learn the fine art of spinning, weaving, felting and many other handcrafted fiber arts.  There will be ongoing demonstrations, animals such as rabbits, goats, sheep, llamas and alpacas to interact with, and artisans to help you with questions about fiber, or try your hand at a new fiber craft. For more information call Vicki Askew @ 518-692-2083 or visit this website for a map and information on participating farms: www.WashingtonCountyFiberTour.org.
The US Fiber Industry is growing by leaps and bounds with the resurgence of the fiber arts;  hand spinning yarn, knitting, weaving, and felting.  The Fiber Industry in the United States supports related industries such as mini mill fiber processors, hand knitters, artisans, and various types of hand crafters.  It is a growing US based industry that speaks to our society’s need to get back to the basics. So come, “get back to the basics and weave a stronger family”, and join us for the 16th Annual Washington County Fiber Tour and learn what Fiber is all about.  If you would like to spend the weekend touring all the farms, have lunch, and stay overnight at a B&B contact the Towns & Villages of the Battenkill Valley  for a special package rate at www.visitbattenkillvalley.com
