Hi there! Here is the press release from Elioak Farms for the Farm Days Celebration being held in the Fall of 2005. I am doing the Sunday, Sept. 18th, spinning demos and would love other spinners to come out and have some fun! This is aimed at kids - I am planning on having some toy wheel drop spindles for them to try out as well as the wheel. If you know of anyone in the area who you think might be interested or could pass this Press Release along, that would be great! The Farm is located just outside Baltimore, MD.
Thanks!

Hi, D! You're right - KnitKnutz IS a fun bunch! We meet the second and fourth Sundays of the month at the Reston police station, and one Sunday a month at the main Fairfax County government building. I'd love it if you joined us! Any chance?
