Our 2014 Speakers and Demonstrations

We have our speakers and demonstrations all lined up for this year’s show.  There are so many interesting things to see and hear! I hope you will find many presentations and demos to pique your interest.

The daily speakers are from 1:00 to 2:00, while the informal demos take place twice a day: 10:30—12:00 and  2:00--3:30.  Since the museum doesn’t open until noon on Sunday, we’ll only have the 2:00  demo that final day.

Admission to the Lane County Historical Museum during the show is $6.  If you expect that you’ll be returning a few times to catch another lecture or demonstration or admire the quilts once again,  we suggest you buy the weekly pass for $16.50.
