We have an exciting lineup of classes for the 2003 Land of Lincoln Basketweavers Association Fall Workshop. The event has been expanded to include classes Friday night as well as Saturday.

Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5. Vendors will be available until 9 p.m. Classes are planned from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. We will order supper -- a sandwich, chips, cookie and pop from Avanti's. Cost will be about $4.

On Saturday, the doors will open at 7:30 a.m. Vendors will be available and a light breakfast will be provided by Bloomington weavers. Weaving will begin at 8:30 a.m.

A potato bar lunch is included in the $20 registration fee and will be served at 12:30. The bar includes baked potatoes and condiments, a soup, dessert, rolls and a drink. Additional drinks will be available for 25 cents. There also will be a short LLBWA board meeting during lunch.

Classes will resume after lunch. The workshop concludes at 5 p.m.

Registration for the workshop is due by July 14. There are 9 Friday night classes and 9 Saturday classes offered. Please review the pictures and descriptions of the projects, teacher biographies and print the registration form. When choosing classes, please list them in order of preference. Return the registration form, a $20 registration fee and a self-addressed stamped envelope to Mary Ann Ford, 709 S. Vale St., Bloomington, IL. 61701.

On July 15, we will draw registration requests randomly and make class assignments. Forms received after July 14 will be processed in the order received and assigned the remaining class seats.

Class assignments will be mailed shortly thereafter. The instructor/material fees will be due to Mary Ann Ford by Aug. 4. You also will have a chance at that time to order kits (when available).

Because of the quick turnaround of class assignments, we will not be able to refund registration fees.

Non-members of LLBWA are welcome to attend, but need to add $5 to the cost of each class. An open weave area also will be available, but you must fill out a registration form and include the registration fee.

If you are expecting to stay in Bloomington overnight Friday night, please note that in the space provided on the registration form. If there are enough people interested, we will then contact local hotels to see if we can get a group rate. Hotel information will be included with your class assignments. There are several hotels very near the Interstate Center.

We feel very fortunate to have attracted such talented teachers and hope that you are pleased with the selections. If you have any questions contact the following people: Mary Ann Ford (309-663-4926) or Marcia Hammerstrand (309-663-5848).
