Big changes to textile exhibit at fairgrounds
Calling all textile artists! There will be a big change in the “Clothing and Textiles” exhibit at the Lake County Fair in 2009. All textile-related entries will be displayed in a “home of their own,” the theater building that was once the “Home Arts” building many years ago.
In addition, there are some substantial cash awards for the winners. Be sure to catch the 2009 premium book for more information about these changes.
Anyone interested in volunteering to help with this undertaking is welcome. Clothing and textile enthusiasts themselves are taking responsibility for handling all exhibits (check-in and pick-up, display, “white glove” duty, etc.).
Kerrie Hershey and Jane Alameda have agreed to coordinate all these efforts but they will need lots of helpers. Please volunteer to assist with this effort. Call either Kerrie Hershey (at Kerrie”s Quilting in Lakeport), 263-8555, or Jane Alameda at 263-3831.
