We are keeping the rooms on the same level with Asbury Hall at the church. The $2 to $5 entrance will get you into both the Margaret Eberle Fair Trade Festival as well as the workshops. If you would like to attend a workshop, it would be helpful (but not mandatory) to rsvp to [email protected] so that we make appropriate room designations. As you enter Asbury Hall, there will be a schedule posted with room assignments for the various workshops.
Please share this schedule with friends and family over the Thanksgiving Holiday:
