Up next in our volunteer spotlight: the humans who show up long before the doors open and stay long after the lights fade.
They’re the ones guiding herds, calming skittish stock, supporting visitors, and keeping the daily flow on track. Their dedication is the heartbeat of OFFF, and we can’t wait for you to hear their stories.

Coming up: the volunteers who turn inspiration into action.
They’re designers, dreamers, organizers — each with their own reason for being here, each adding something irreplaceable to the OFFF community.

The Aurora Colony Handspinners Guild has demonstrated at OFFF for many years. They have mentored many a new spinner into the fiber arts community. The American Craft Council published this wonderful piece recently and OFFF thought we would share it with you.

Sharing a few words from me Nikkie Alt—OFFF’s Instagram Coordinator—and from Brandy, OFFF’s Director and Co‑Founder. There are a few things we want to address, and we hope this is received with openness, kindness, and care.

Thank you all for your time!

First and foremost, the Festival Director, Brandy Chastain, apologizes to everyone who is inconvenienced by the date change.

We know that change isn’t always easy, and we’re learning to adapt right alongside you.
