Fiber Conferences, Fairs, Shows, Oh my!

That time of year is approaching where a lot of activities start ramping up for the spring/summer season in Illinois and Wisconsin. For the people interested in fiber arts, this means fairs, shows, conferences, and more! There are a lot of options coming up in the near future.
