Carolina FiberFest PreEvent Party –
March 16, 2019 10am – 5pm
State Fairgrounds, Expo Center
Raleigh, NC

We are growing and the opportunity to lease the Expo Center for the 2020 Carolina FiberFest (NEXT year) just became available.  However, in order to secure it for next year, we had to rent it this year.  It was too late to move CFF back one week so we decided to use the space to throw a party and invite all of our fiber friends to come hang out and work on your favorite fiber craft. 
Details are still being worked out, but we will have awesome activities including:
  • Used Fiber Equipment Yard Sale 
  • Fiber Craft Area
    • Come sit with artisans, crafters, and guild members as they work on projects. Ask questions or get help on your current project.  (Bring your own project to work on.)
    • Work on CFF Craft-Along Projects
