North Country Fiber Fair

The North Country Fiber Fair is a three-day event at the Codington County Extension Complex in Watertown, South Dakota. Classes start on Friday and run through Sunday, with the vendor floor open Saturday and Sunday. Regional fiber guilds participate, which brings a community infrastructure to the fair beyond the usual vendor-and-workshop setup. Social events run throughout the weekend alongside the shopping and classes, giving the three-day format time to settle into something more relaxed than a single-day rush. For fiber artists across the upper Great Plains, where the distances between gatherings can be considerable, a full weekend in one place is worth the drive.
