Because the Guild will have a sales and demo booth at the 2025 Fiber Arts Fiesta at the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum (AGSEM) on Saturday and Sunday (5/3 & 4), the typical 1st Sunday Guild meeting has been moved from Encinitas to the Board Room at the AGSEM in Vista.

Members interested in selling and/or demonstrating in the Guild booth on Saturday and/or Sunday, should contact Grace Swanson (marketing@baskets-gourds.com) to find out details about drop off and volunteer opportunities. All participants are responsible for picking up their sale items or making arrangements for pick-up.

The Museum has generously offered their Board Room for a short Board/general meeting at 11:00am. Guild members are encouraged to come before and stay after the meeting to experience the fun Fiber Arts Fiesta activities (10am-4pm) — Vendors, Demonstrations, Food, and Music! Be sure to tour the antique looms in the weavers' barn and many more onsite exhibits (see below). This event is hosted by the Palomar Handweavers and Spinners Guild.

No Potluck — Food available for purchase at AGSEM  

The Fiber Arts Fiesta takes place outdoors. Most of the booths will be set up on a lawn that is uneven in places. Shoes suitable for walking and a hat are suggested.

AGSEM will be open all weekend, so you can see examples of mechanical ingenuity and crafts associated with the early days of the American farm and rural community; the  Blacksmith & Wheelwright Shop, Short Track Railroad exhibit, and the Clock & Watch Museum will be open.
