Sandra M, Kevin C. & his wife, Vicky, and Linda O. attended the Kolache Festival (a Local Historical Society festival) in Burleson County on September 14 in the town of Caldwell. The Kolache Festival was held in the backyard of a historical house along with a blacksmith, a lady churning butter, a lady spinning wool from her sheep, a man taking corn off the cob and the CTBG members demonstrated basket making.
Linda O wove a basket to demonstrate the art of basketry. Kevin and his wife Vicky had some paper heart shapes that were cut out and then the festival attendees wove into a cup along with weaving god's eye made with yarn. Many children participated in this weaving activity. Sandra, Kevin, Vicky, and Linda found this festival enjoyable. CTBG members have been invited back for next year's festival!
