The First Annual Fiber Fair
The first annual Fiber Fair was held in Marshfield in 1995 with the assistance of the Webster County University Outreach & Extension Small Farm Family Program. Gladys Gaeke and Helen Grace Muzzy headed up the project.
The fair was
co-sponsored by Highland Fiber Artists and Webster County University Outreach & Extension Small Farm Family Program
from 1997 to 2002. Since 2002 the Highland Fiber Artists Guild
has run the Fair on their own. It is held the 3rd Saturday in May each year in the Marshfield,
Missouri City Park.
The Guild members demonstrate many Fiber
Arts, present mini-workshops and have a booth displaying
items made by Guild members along with information about the
Guild. The last several years they have also had a bake sale table
for the convenience of Fair participants.
There are always vendors with fiber related wares and and live animals. The latest additions to the Fair have been a Fashion show; Fleece and Handspun Yarn Competitions; Knit and Crochet Speed Contests; and Young Crafters Contest.
