Federick Fiber Fest
The Frederick Fiber Fest began its journey in 2016, born from the passionate hands of one of our very own employees, Dawn Dayhoff, who was taught to knit and crochet by her cousin. She enjoyed the process of selecting yarn colors and textures and using her skills to create beautiful and functional items such as scarves, hats, blankets, and garments. She found it to be a calming and meditative experience and enjoyed joining knitting circles and attending fiber festivals with friends.
Endless Mountains Fiber Festival
The Endless Mountains Fiber Festival began in September of 2003 in conjunction with the Penn State Extension. It is the largest and longest-running fiber festival in Pennsylvania. The Festival is held on the Harford Fairgrounds, located in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, in the heart of the Endless Mountains.
