SOCIAL EVENTS
In addition to workshops and the Master Spinner and Weaver Programs, Fibre Week hosts a variety of events open to the public. No registration is required and we highly encourage participants and walk-ins to make Olds College of Agriculture & Technology a destination to drop by, unwind, spin in and shop! These events are held across campus - for more information please inquire at the registration booth in the Werklund Agriculture and Technology Centre.
