Yep! It’s about the time when we start to get ready and celebrate the bountiful gifts that mother earth has been saving for us all year long. On October 10th, Mimi Luebbermann will be hosting her Second Annual Fiber Fest at Windrush Farm located on Chileno Valley which is surrounded by beautiful scenery and wonderful wineries. At the farm we will have demonstrations, fiber vendors, and of course I will be there with my woolly goods. Black Mountain Weavers represented by Marlie DeSwart will have a booth and Charmaine Krieger be there offering her natural dyed fibers. Mimi will have for sale her milled spun yarn and roving made from her own flock of sheep . Spinners are very much welcome to bring spinning wheels!

From Pt Reyes Station
Take the Petaluma-Pt Reyes Rd and after the Marin Cheese Factory turn left onto Hicks Valley Road. At the Petaluma-Marshall Road, turn right towards Petaluma. Go up the big hill, come down, and at the intersection where Chileno Valley goes left, GO STRAIGHT. Cross the narrow bridge, and immediately turn right into the driveway of 2263 Chileno Valley Road. The intersection is confusing, but Chileno Valley also continues straight, hence, do not turn left.
