What: Woodstock Weavers Guild 12th annual show, combined with Hollow Tree Spinners
Where: Old Courthouse Arts Center, 101 Johnson (on the Square), Woodstock, Illinois
When: Thursday, October 8, 2009 through Sunday, November 1, 2009
Hours: Thursday-Friday 11 am to 5 pm, Sunday 1 to 5 pm, Monday-Wednesday CLOSED
*tail wags*
I have eleven pieces in the show. Judging was not complete when I was last in the gallery, but I had three firsts and three thirds in spinning at that point.
That's not why you should go, though. There are gorgeous things to see. Clothing, rugs, tapestry, table linens, and more. Visit the Square on Saturday morning and there's a farmer's market as well. Restaurants and boutiques surround the park in the center, which is just beginning to develop fall color. See the historic Woodstock Opera House, and the former jail that at various times held famous prisoners like Eugene V. Debs or John Dillinger. Apple orchards in the area are open and busy selling ripe apples, cider, doughnuts and other goodies.
If you are in the Rockford-Crystal Lake-Elgin-McHenry area of Illinois, or the Elkhorn-Walworth-Lake Geneva area of Wisconsin, this is well worth the trip. Come see.
