Heritage Weavers’ 2016 Fall Event

August 31, 2016/2 Comments/in Basket Weaving Events /by Annetta K

The Heritage Weavers Fall Event takes place in Dayton, Ohio. This annual event started years ago as Mid Summer Weave; over the years, things changed and it moved to September and became a fall event. This year, the event moved to a brand new location, the Bergamo Center, and to the last weekend of August – just on the edge of the change of seasons.
