Everyone at Gaspereau Valley Fibres has been very busy these last few months planning for October. While there are still some things to finalize, we do have some exciting news to share.
Richard Ashford has registered for this years retreat! He will be giving demos, teaching wheel maintenance as well as talking about the history of Ashford. Richard said “”it will be particularly interesting for me as Grandad was a preacher in Nova Scotia, and Dad went to school in St. John”. We are very excited to welcome him, as well as Marc and Kate from Ashford, to the Maritimes this October.
There are still lots of spots left, so be sure to call in and register. When you register it provides you with: wine and cheese social on Friday night, three meals and two coffee breaks on Saturday as well as breakfast on Sunday. This means you are responsible for dinner on Friday night when you arrive. The Old O’s restaurant will be open or you can visit one of the great restaurants in the surrounding towns. Paddy’s Pub, The Tempest, The Ivy Deck Bistro or The Port Pub are just a few examples of what awaits you.
Vendor information will soon be available, as well as games and contests. As the theme is Spin Local, be sure to keep your eyes out for local fibres in your area that you can create with.
Please feel free to call or email Gaspereau Valley Fibres if there are any questions or concerns about the retreat. Gaspereau Valley Fibres would also like to extend a huge thanks to everyone who has graciously offered to help with this undertaking. We appreciate all the help and enthusiasm.
Spin happy!
