The second event I participate in during the second half of the year is the Hickory Apple Festival. I usually do two full days there (Sat. & Sun.) but, as my son Gordon is turning 6 on Oct. 7 and we are planning a swim party for him that I don't intend to miss. So, I'll be at Hickory on Saturday, October 6th demonstrating and selling brooms and wheat weavings.

Other than that I'm trying to decide if I'll be teaching a class this fall at the Society for Contemporary Craft. More than likely, if I do, it will be for the hardwood stars that would make for a fun and easy family project for the holidays.
