From Luceta on the unofficial BMDL Facebook Group:

The Fiber Guild had demo in the children’s museum last Thursday (8 December 2016), and it went smashingly well. Many many thanks to Rivka for spinning, and carding ,and making dozens of fluffy sheep with the youngest museum goers, and to Rufina for getting in touch with the museum at the Makers’ Faire, which started this whole thing. (Also many thanks to Angus for printing and cutting out all those sheep.)
The museum was very happy with us, and would like to have us back! So those of you who started their clearance paperwork, but couldn’t have it processed in time – there will be more opportunities!

We had a great space the studio, and a very official poster (in pictures) and lots of visitors! It was wonderful to talk to the kids and their parents about wool, and seeing their eyes light up when they get to touch the wool and spin the wheel, and pet the sheep puppet. (Greatest epiphany of the day:” Mom, look, they have the same glue as us!”) here are some pictures!
