I've been asking for volunteers for the festival. I've gotten five so far - we need ten in order to get a free table for PURL ON THE PLAZA to "represent"!! If you are interested, let me know. I don't have details on the volunteer shifts but if you are planning to go anyway, you might as well help out! Thanks in advance! |
Please consider joining the Greater Birmingham Fiber Guild which meets prior to the Purl on the Plaza, 2nd Saturday of each month. They have fabulous workshops and demonstrations! They meet from 10 am to 2 pm at the Hoover Church of Christ, 3248 Lorna Road, Birmingham, Alabama 35216 (map). Dues are just $25/year. Check out their blog here.
