We will also be raffling the quilt made from the Challenge Blocks people have made in the last year.
For an event as spectacular as this, we are in need of many quilts, help with planning, to set-up, and ‘white-gloving’ at the Fair. Financial donations/sponsors are also sought to help with the cost of holding such a show.
