<p>“<font size="2">We are thankful for the many skill sharers, musicians and performers, barter folks, volunteers, vendors & nonprofits that are coming together to make this a joyous, entertaining, and informative event! This will be a fun festival about teaching and learning all kinds of useful, handy, and practical skills. Years ago, lots of people knew how to repair and sharpen tools, make a braided rug, raise chickens, make soap, build a fence, make simple toys, and much more. The goal of SkillShare is to help revive some of those skills, showcase some new ones, and provide a place where all of us can come learn from people more experienced in these crafts and trades. BE A SPONSOR AND HELP BUILD LOCAL SELF-RELIANCE! Your support will ensure a successful SkillShare this year, which means an even better faire next year. Be a part of the start of something great- sponsor SkillShare! Your donation will be tax-deductible, too.
