2012 Demonstration Schedule

dashed

Our Guild’s tradition of demonstrating rug hooking at local events continues this year with an active schedule.

Educating and informing the public about traditional rug hooking is one of the objectives of our Guild. Demonstrating rug hooking at local events is the major way in which we fulfill this objective. Our participation not only helps promote rug hooking and our Guild, but also helps support local organizations and historical sites. The current schedule is shown below.
