Floral Hall Activities
Floral Hall is where you will find the Fleece Show & Sale, Fiber Arts Contests and the Fiber Arts Center hosted by Green Mountain Knitting Guild. We welcome and thank the talented fiber artists and groups who will be demonstrating their crafts in Floral Hall through the weekend. Some of the demos are hands-on opportunities for you to try a new craft.
