Americana Quilt Show & Festival
The Valley Quilters Guild is again sponsoring its annual Americana Festival Jubilee Quilt Show and Sale. The event is scheduled for Saturday, August 2, 2008 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm in the rotunda of the Barnes County Courthouse located at 230 4th St. NW in Valley City. In addition to the amazing display of quilts inside the historic courthouse, there will be a quilter's flea market held in the basement.
Don't forget to get your raffle ticket for this year's quilt which features the Hi-Line Bridge. While the concept for the quilt was a committee decision, Kathy Burchill of Luverne crafted the center which depicts not only the bridge but what goes on beneath the bridge, including people on the river, in the park, and various animals. The blocks surrounding the scene represent the hills surrounding Valley City and were made by members of the guild. Tickets may be purchased from any guild member, at the Quilted Ceiling, or at the Courthouse the day of the show.
The quilt show is held in conjunction with the Street Festival sponsored by Faith in Action which features arts and crafts, food, music, and other entertainment.
