Camp Tuck 2008

 

Interstate Center

Bloomington, Illinois

Camp Tuck 2008 is just around the corner!  This year the registration brochure will be mailed as a separate publication towards the end of April. We are hoping to have another great turn out this year, but to do so we need your help! Please, bring a friend or pass this information along to someone that might be interested in attending.

 As usual we will be offering Friday evening classes, and all-day classes on Saturday and Sunday. There will be something for everyone and all weaving levels.  Classes run on Friday night will be from 6:00 p.m.  – 10:00 p.m.  On Saturday they will run from 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. with an hour for lunch and then Sunday from 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.  The event line-up this year is fantastic with the following teachers: Nancy Carlson, Susan Coyle, Venie Hinson, Flo Hoppe, Gail Hutchinson, Marlene Meyer, Marlys Sowers, and Laura Lee Zanger. 

In addition to the great classes, we are planning some special activities for Saturday evening. These events include: evening appetizers, teacher’s book signing, “Weave-It/Don’t Leave it” mini-projects, awards, door prizes and of course shopping! Also, in keeping with tradition we are sponsoring a charity event. This year we plan to do an Adopt-A-Soldier event. Every day we hear how these brave men and women are sacrificing for our country. I can only hope these donations will make a difference in their lives.

(Wondering how it came to be called Camp Tuck-A-Basket? Read the history behind the name.)
