New Festival Chairman for 2012 - Kathy Barrick will be taking over the duties of festival chairman this year. We are thrilled to have Kathy head the festival, she is a wonderful spinner, has owned many fiber animals and is knowledgeable and has the ability to take care of all the details that go into the running of this festival. Liz Yokel will be co-chairman. Liz has had more than one committee position and has done a fabulous job in all of them, and is now moving from those to co-chair with Kathy. Together they are going to make a wonderful team leading our committee and running our festival!
