Michigan Fiber Festival

Michigan Fiber Festival

August 16-18, 2018

    I spent some time and had some maintenance done on the RV in early August. Rotated tires, oil changed, refastened screws in the shower area, and cleaned the inside.

      Sherry was ready for a fiber festival and we have attended the Allegan Michigan festival in the past. We enjoy staying at the fairgrounds because you can shop and then return to the RV for breaks and meals. This year we left on Thursday and arrived in the afternoon to set up in one of the spots by the fairground buildings where we normally camp. Sherry made her way over to the vendors and looked and talked to vendors. Most vendors at the fairgrounds set up on Friday and so she got to visit and examine fibers that day as well.

We also always visit the Baker Allegan Studios Fiber Arts Studio and Old Mill Yarn. Their website: http://www.bakeralleganstudios.com/

     Later Friday we drove to Holland and looked the town over. We had been here several years ago, but it was great to see the Red Lighthouse again. There is a great Tulip festival held here every spring, but being August we didn’t visit the festival site.

   

       Friday evening we went downtown and listened live music performed at the waters edge park. Several people were taking the Zip line across the lake. The bridge on an adjacent street is lit with colored lights and the whole area is quite beautiful.
