Deerfield Fair 2011

Lots of photos...no particular order...post is somewhere in the middle.......

WOW...what a great showing of hooked rugs at the Fair. Many of the rugs displayed were from our members...the rest of them from "potential members". Many thanks to Grace C for collecting our rugs and transporting them to the rug committee.
Several of our members demonstrated rug hooking to the fair goers. It's rewarding to educate and excite young (and mature) people in the traditional arts. There seems to be a growing interest in Girl Scout Troops  working towards their badges. Many people tell us they remember their grandmothers hooking...hopefully we look lots younger!
Some people return to the rug barn every year to see what new projects we are hooking and are excited to see what ribbons we have won.

Our guild hopes to hold our regular Saturday meeting at the fair next year. What fun it will be to have 30+ hookers in the barn-we might need our very own fried dough stand!

Happy Hooking!
