This Weekend in California
The California Wool and Fiber Festival celebrates its 13th year this weekend at the Mendocino County Fairgrounds in Boonville, California, just 100 or so miles up the coast from San Francisco. A fair within a fair, the festival is held during the Mendocino County Fair and Apple Show, coincides with the 84th annual California National Wool Show, and features many vendors, fiber-bearing animals, and demonstrations.
