Thank you State Fair volunteers!
The State Fair demonstrations are our largest volunteer effort of each year, requiring nearly 400 hours of demonstrations + prep and set up time. This year, members of WGM’s Rag Rug Study Group led two full days of demonstrations, while the Duluth Fiber Guild highlighted fiber arts resources in northern Minnesota.
