About the Fabric Sale
Started in 1998 by Patti Colby with just a card table and small selection of fabric, the Fabric Sale grew to fill the gym for the three days of the annual Fair. In 2020, the Fabric Sale became the stand-alone event over four days that we have today, encompassing the gym, hallways, and lobby of the Complex. The Fabric Sale is organized and run by a dedicated group of hard-working volunteers who log hundreds of hours each year to ensure the success of the Sale.
​
​Proceeds from the fabric sale support the Foundation, which in turn provides facilities for the youth sewing program offered through 4-H.
