It’s Rodeo Time Again! Sign up to work the Livestock Show. Look at Blaine’s 2012 Livestock Show Schedule to see what slots are available and email Blaine to volunteer for an available time. We will be there from February 28 through March 18.

This is a lot of fun and gives a lot of publicity to the guild. You will also get a parking pass for your day, so come out and demo then go visit the Livestock Show!

Update: We found her: Jean May! Will the member who made the felted socks in the sale please contact the webweaver? Or if you know who made them, let me know. We have someone who wants to get some before moving to Washington where she is sure to need them!
