Almost there!


 The anticipation is mounting!  We’re hearing about carloads of folks coming to Cobourg to join our hook-in on October 2….and we’ll certainly be ready for you!

Here are a few more details you need to be aware of:

- Doors will open promptly at 9 am.  You’ll want to be here on time in order to check out the vintage rugs on display, and to vote for your favourites.  Voting has to close down early in order to give us time to register these vintage rugs, so make sure to stop by the voting booth early!

- We want to see your vintage rugs, regardless of whether you know their back story or whether they were even made in another province.  We want to admire ALL the rugs!  Please bring them along!

- Speakers will start at 10 am promptly.  We have an action-packed agenda and we’ll do our best to ensure it all runs according to schedule.

- Vendors - we’ve got lots of them!  If there is something specific you need from a given vendor, why not send them an email now to ensure your goods are there!  In fact, Dawn Liu Smyth of HeartFelt Fibre has even suggested that you order online at her website, select “pick up in store” and include a note that you’ll be there on Monday - she’ll make sure your order comes with her to the event.

- Also, Rosemary Hill of Top ‘O the Hill Jewellery will be featuring vintage items, to go along with our vintage rug theme.  As an added bonus, she’ll be bringing along her ultrasound gizmo for cleaning jewellery.  It’s great for cleaning rings, earrings and more!  She’ll charge a nominal amount for this service.

Here’s a sneak preview of the program for the day:
