Connie King

Posted on August 1, 2021 | Comments Off on Connie King

Connie King, the managing head of the Great Lakes Fiber Show, passed away on July 23, 2021.  Connie was a member of the Medina Spinning and Weaving Guild as well as many other guilds, She will be greatly missed. The question that many of you might have is what about the Fiber Show. Connie had been fighting her illness for a number of years and had set up committees to run the show, so all is well in hand and the show will continue.  We hope to see you all next May.
