| Marissa brought her pup! |
Ok - first things first, we REALLY need some volunteer photographers! Our August meeting was held at the Maplewood Library; it had been a while since we last met there, due to renovations, and I have to say it's very nice. 17 members showed up to talk about nametags, small projects for State Fair give aways and the business for our make up board meeting.

| Carla's & Veronica's Dragon scale bags |
Barb (who taught the dragon scale bag class) stepped forward with interest in the Education Chair position and Veronica has offered to act as assistant to the Ed Chair. We're still looking for nominees for 2025 President & Secretary. I'll be posting more about the roles in the upcoming weeks as we approach the October elections.

You'll need to pick up a mini skein of yarn from each shop and present a completed punch card to get the pattern(s) and be eligible to win prizes.

| Brenda's towel (and mascot). |
Even though I don't enter the State Fair competitions, I find myself looking forward to the opportunity to see our member's entries & admire the talents of so many fiber artists in Minnesota. CTC will be at the fair in the Creative Arts building from 8am-7pm on Thursday, August 22 and Sunday, September 1.
