Fall and Winter 2022/2023 Season!


Our Fall has been spectacular and we have started to return to a somewhat normal routine. Our spinners have started demonstrating again and we have resumed our indoor meetings once a month. We continue to follow restrictions with social distancing, mask wearing and proof of vaccination. It has been wonderful to be together again.

With the warm weather continuing through this fall, our outside events at the Glengarry Pioneer Museum were very enjoyable. Our members were able to participate in the Stitch in Time, the Harvest Festival and the Living History Weekend - War of 1812 Reenactment.

At this time, our meetings are dependent of conditions and restrictions. We continue to make plans to participate in more activities next year. Some of our regular venues have already started to book dates of events for the 2023 Summer Season. We have listed some of the confirmed dates below and will be adding others as we get confirmation. So stay tuned!

Happy spinning!
