Demoing at the Mt State Fair

I was honored to sit and spin in "the new" building at the Mountain State Fair, near the Asheville airport. I was sitting right in front of the fiber competition entries.
I spoke with and gave hands on demos to over 100 folks of all ages in my two hour time slot.
You can handle everything I brought but only look at the exhibits.

Comments made were:
"?????Did you make all that stuff?"-refering to the exhibits
"What are you making?-" they point to the fleece and the yarn and ask which is being made into the other
"Are you making string?"
"What is that?"- pointing to the fleece
"What do you do with the yarn you make?"
"Can I try" -asked by almost everyone

I can't imagine a better educational opportunity to hook folks on fiber arts.
and again, I had a blast.
Keep those fibers moving,
Robyn
