Hello, textile lab folks
I am going to be at the Trail Fest in Epping and was hoping that someone from the PCMS would attend and do a presentation as well. I asked Alex and he may have put it out to the membership but we have not heard from anyone. 
If anyone wants to participate, attend, or do a presentation as part of the Seacoast Permaculture group, we would be thrilled.
