We have an exciting lineup of classes for the 2005 Land of Lincoln Basketweavers Association Fall Workshop. 

Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9. Vendors will be available until 9 p.m. Classes are planned from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Supper-- a sandwich, chips, cookie and pop -- will be from Avanti's, and may be pre-ordered at a cost between $3.75 and $4.85 depending on the sandwich.

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 9:00 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 8 . There are 8 Friday night classes, 8 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 Pat Gustafson, 441 Carlock Road, Carlock, IL. 61725.

The registration fee covers the $450 cost of the Interstate Center, $10 charge for Saturday lunch ans miscellaneous expenses involved with offering the workshop.

On July 9, we will draw registration requests randomly and make class assignments. Forms received after July 8 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 Pat Gustafson by Aug. 1. 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. We have lined up two hotels near the Interstate Center that are willing to offer a limited number of rooms at a discounted rate for those wishing to stay overnight. Hotel information will be included with your class assignments.
