Mark your calendars for September 20-22, 2024, as we commemorate the very first Florida Fiber In! 🧶 Beginning in St. Augustine (between hurricanes, mind you), this event has seen it all—from moldy hotel rooms and no elevator to rain in the main show room. Who remembers that inaugural hotel? 🏨
🌪️ Hotel Horror Stories Wanted!
We’re turning our hotel woes into a friendly competition. Share your worst Florida Fiber In hotel story, and let’s see who takes the crown! 🏆Email me your stories and we will vote for the worst in person. I will take stories up to Sept 18th.
🏨 New Hotel Alert!
Due to a date mix-up at our usual spot, we’ve been on a last-minute hotel hunt. Fear not—the new hotel details are now on our website (Florida Fiber in – Florida Fiber In), complete with a booking link. 🌐 While I couldn’t negotiate room rates down (hotels, am I right?), I did secure conference rooms under 2k. Remember you are not obligated to stay at the host hotel but it does help us negotiate better meeting room rates.
💡 Auction Reminder
Our Auction is our financial lifeline. Got gently used fibers or equipment gathering dust? Donate them to keep the Florida Fiber In cool (literally, we could end up in a parking lot) and thriving! ☀️
🌪️ Florida Fiber In Stories Wanted!
As this is our 20th anniversary, I would love to collect your stories and pictures into a Zine. I will need the stories and/or pictures by the end of July to have time to put it together. So, start remembering! It doesn’t have to be anything formal. I can clean it up – just shoot me an email. If you don’t want to write a story, then just send me a picture or five.🎙️
Spin in Public Day
On Saturday, we’re taking over the conference room’s public entryway. Let’s create a massive spinning circle! Maybe we’ll even snag some press coverage. 📰
🏴 Theme
We are going to Scotland this year for our theme so if I were you, I would remember that your organizer absolutely loves Outlander – in particular the books, so you might want to start reading. They are very big books and there are 9 of them so far😄I recommend audio books because then you can spin (or knit or crochet or weave or whatever) while listening and the reader is fabulous for this series.
Returning Vendors: Confirm by June 30th
Potential New Vendors: Send me your info (admin@floridafiberin.com) for a chance at one of our coveted spots. I do a random drawing from those who would like to be new vendors for any available spots. I will do this the first week of July so get those requests sent over.
