The Guild at the San Diego County Fair

June 19, 2016

our Guild at the Fair!

SD County Fair2016 BoothKnitters were at the San Diego County Fair!  Members represented the Guild by demonstrating our craft at our beautifully decorated booth in the Home & Hobby Exhibit on June 16, 19 and 23.

Carol Myers, Guild Coordinator for the San Diego County Fair did a great job organizing volunteers, planning our booth and gathering knitting information to introduce new knitters to the art and craft of knitting. Thanks to Guild members Colleen Davis, Linda Hart, Eileen Adler, Marie Fisher, Ursula Almeida and Irina Anikeeva for loaning the knitted items on display.
