I just received in my mail a postcard from my local state fair grounds that a "Quilt, Craft & Sewing Festival" is comign in November that will have hundreds of vendors, and when I went to their website (http://www.rustybarn.com/)crocheting was included in the list! I am imagining since they will have knitting that there's going to be lots of yarn, and maybe other things to die for! A list of vendors is given on the website.

It's just $7 to go (if you print out the $1 off coupon) and there will be one around the beginning of November in Puyallup and then one in Vancouver closer to the end. You can sign up for a free newsletter, too.

:thinkI was wondering if anyone would care to go and possibly we could meet up and spend a day together looking at all of the things that will appeal to our hearts and hopefully our pocketbooks?:think I'm equi-distant to both Puyallup and Vancouver so either festival works for me, and would be willing to carpool if that would help if someone wanted to go but couldn't afford the gas. Just send me a PM and we can talk details!

Also, they have posted the sites where they will be holding festivals for 2006 (http://www.rustybarn.com/2006-shows.html). It includes not just Washington, but California, Arizona, and Colorado.

Hi Lori,
I live in Gig Harbor and think getting together and enjoying a day browsing the festival with a fellow crocheter would be great fun. I have been intending to get hold of you and suggest getting together and meeting each other. Especially since our tastes in crochet seem to be similar. So this would work out perfectly.
I am more than willing to drive out and meet you there. We need to decide which day would work the best for all involved. Look forward to hearing from you.
