What's Happening with SLVFest?

[ad...@slvfest.com]

We have New Vendors since my last update:

* "the Felted Dog" from Pueblo, will be joining us this summer!
They carry purses, needle-felted ornaments and decorations, felted
soap, nesting cones, and re-purposed wool dog toys. They also have a
selection of handmade, gourmet dog treats, and cotton dog collars
too! This will be their first fiber festival, and we're so very
excited to have them join us.
* We're also welcoming Ron of "The Buffalo Wool Co." from
Kennendale Texas. The Buffalo Wool Company makes yarns and garments
from the American bison (Buffalo Gold yarns). Check them out online
before you get to meet them in person: thebuffalowoolco.com

We have more returning vendors who have confirmed they'll be there to
party with us again in 2011:

* Kim, owner of The Yarn Gallery and Cat Mountain Fiber Arts, will
be joining us for another great summer event! If you haven't seen
Kim's booth, you're in for a treat! She carries hand dyed yarn and
fiber. She's also a dealer of Schacht Spindle Company Equipment.
Check out her online offerings and sign up for her monthly newsletter:

* Dee Dee will be back with her wonderful Blessed Brews coffee
cart. She makes wonderful hot and cold coffee drinks, shaved ice,
teas, and delicious muffins!

We received word back from the Monte Vista Chamber that our Spinning
Wheel Raffle is a go for this year! This is our fourth spinning wheel
give away. It's very exciting...

We're giving away a very well preserved Sid Sharples Bulky Spinner. It
was built in the mid 70's. This wheel is quite beautiful. It's not a
traveling wheel, but the foot print isn't giant either. The wheel is
about a foot across and 18" deep. The bobbin (only one) will hold at
least a pound of spun yarn. The orifice is at least an inch across.
The leather drive band is in great shape. This handmade wheel is quite
beautiful. This will be the perfect wheel for novelty and large scale
production spinning! I'll post pictures and links to ticket sales
very soon.

We are going to do more give-aways starting mid-May up until the
festival. Stay tuned... ;) and thanks for reading.
