Tennessee Fiber Festival

6th Annual

Middle Tennessee Fiber Festival

This year will be the 6th year of the festival, and my how it has grown. All three buildings are full with  different vendors. We have work shops scheduled for two days, Friday and Saturday. We will have a shearer coming on Saturday and are planning various demonstrations. We will also have door prizes to be given away several time each day.

New for 2012, will be a sheep breed exhibition. The Tennessee Sheep Producers Association will have several breeds of sheep for folks to look at. More when we get this fleshed out.

We are trying to put together an antique spinning wheel exhibition and evaluation….sort of on the line of Antique Roadshow. We are still working on this part.

The Festival is in Dickson, Tennessee on May 25 and 26, 2012. Friday will be 12-6 and Saturday 9-5. Dickson is located just an hour West of Nashville, just 5 miles off of I-40 exit 172. There are several new hotels/motels at that exit from the major chains; Holiday Inn, Comfort Inn, Best Western, etc., along with chain restaurants like Applebee’s, Logan’s, O’Charlie’s and Cracker Barrel.

Downtown Dickson has a revitalized Main Street, with lots of little specialty shops, antique shops, a coffee shop and several nice dinners and sandwich shops. Try the “Grown up Grilled Cheese” at the House Blend Coffee Shop…it is fabulous!

We hope to see you at the Festival!

We now have a FaceBook Group for the Fiber Festival. Vendors and instructors are posting new and discussing the festival. Here is the link:
