"Choose Your Own Adventure"
Retreat Sign Up Extended


WE HAVE SEVERAL SPACES STILL OPEN FOR THE RETREAT. IF YOU'VE CONSIDERED ATTENDING STOP BY AND ASKED ONE OF US FOR THE DETAILS. THE LAST DAY TO SIGN UP IS JUNE 12th.

DO SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF AND COME ENJOY THE WEEKEND WITH OTHER YARN LOVERS.


Here are the details:

The "Choose Your Own Adventure" Retreat has become an annual opportunity for loved ones (mothers and daughters, husbands/wives, and/or sisters and brothers) or old friends to get together and spend time focusing on their love of yarn & fiber.

We'll kick off this year's retreat on Friday, July 16th with a Reception from 7 pm to 10pm. This will give you time to decompress before the serious fun begins on Saturday. This is an optional event with a cost of $25 per person and it will include yummy hot & cold appetizers, frosty ice tea and a No Host Bar.


On Saturday, July 17th the doors will open at 9:00am for your journey into the 2010 "Choose Your Own Adventure Retreat." A very unstructured agenda is still in the planning stages but we have decided on a Fiesta Lunch and a mouthwatering snack in the evening. Dinner is No Host but there are lots of great places to explore in the area and a restaurant on site.


On Sunday, July 18th your journey will continue at 9:00am and end at 2:00pm. A Deli Lunch buffet will be served to keep you going to the very end.


Registration for this year's retreat, which will be held at the Four Points by Sheraton in Tempe, begins on March 15 and runs through June 12th. To make reservations at the hotel call 480-968-3451 and tell them you are part of the Tempe Yarn & Fiber Retreat. The cost of the retreat will be $175 per person (including a $25 non-refundable deposit due at registration). If you choose to attend the Friday night reception there is an additional charge of $25. The hotel rates are $75.00 (plus tax) per night for a room. Lodging is NOT included in the Retreat Fee.


I always get the question "why would someone go to a hotel in town for a yarn retreat?" The answer is simple. This allows you to escape from the real world, immersing yourself in something that you are passionate about, while being with others who "get it" about that skein of yarn, project, fluff of fiber or pattern. It's uninterrupted time to "be" with your projects and share in the energy of having that many fiber people in one space.


Here's some photos from last year's event.
