OVWSG - 30th Annual Exhibition and Sale

A fun day was had by all!

Richard and Shirley were most kind in allowing our guild to tour their home front operation. From raw wool to finished product the process was explained and time take to show the different procedures applied towards the finished product. A quaint little retail shop filled with home spun and knit items ranging from wraps, sweaters, hats and socks. All of the store's wares had that oh so personal touch with head knitter " Mom " behind the cash.

This is truly worth the trip from Ottawa.Even if it is just to imagine how one member of the family enticed her family to start up their own business. One that is unique to the area let alone the province!
