Fosston Fiber Festival

From Fosston Fiber Festival Website:

The Fosston Fiber Festival takes place October 7-8, 2017. The festival celebrates the fiber heritage of northern Minnesota while showcasing local fiber producers and artists. A range of workshops taught by fiber artists make fiber art and craft technique accessible to anyone. Come join us for a fun, fiber-filled weekend, take a class (or many), shop for yarns, fiber or art, enjoy the beautiful northern Minnesota countryside and meet the farmers who produce the fibers that make our clothing, arts and crafts possible.

This festival is part of a larger endeavor to revitalize the sheep and fiber industry in northern Minnesota. The Sustainable Sheep and Fiber Community of Northern Minnesota includes the Fosston Fiber Festival and the Small Scale Sustainable Sheep Farming Event February 18, 2017. Both events are made possible in part by support from the Sustainable Farming Association in Minnesota and grants from Northwest Minnesota Foundation and Northwest Regional Sustainable Development Partnership.
