                    • During lunch we will feature people and their fiber creations as they walk through the audience to be admired. Please email your 1-2 sentence description to marilynmilton@charter.net or bring a hard copy to the conference to give to Marilyn.

                    • Come as you like, casual to dressy.  This special dinner on Saturday is followed by a live auction.  So think about what you might be able to bring for the bidding.  All proceeds go to camelid research.

                    • Veterinarian Only Day

                    • This is a chance for your vet to attend for Friday and participate in as many sessions as they want plus eat lunch with other veterinarians.
