Meetings:
The 2010 N-CSA annual meeting will held in conjunction with the 14th Annual Snake River Fiber Fair in Idaho Falls, Idaho, May 15- 16, 2010. The SRFF offers a variety of classes and vendor booths.
Special opportunity for an incredible tour of the US Sheep Experiment Station on Friday May 14th in Dubois, Idaho! Click HERE for more info. It's a unique experience you don't want to miss!
A wool show is in the planning stages but a livestock show is
unlikely since it’s so early in the year. Watch for updated information
at: www.srfiberarts.org/Snake-River-Fiber-Fair.html and in the
next issue of the Catch Pen.
