290 partial closure this weekend

Houston Transtar is reporting a total closure of 290 between Bingle and Tidwell on Saturday and Sunday.

DETOUR: From central Houston, the fastest alternate route is probably I-10 W > Beltway-8 N > 290 W. Those of you outside Beltway 8, your drive should not be affected.

If you are taking classes on Saturday or Sunday, please leave early and allow extra driving time! We’re sorry about the inconvenience!

The Meet-Up Table

There’s more to Houston Fiber Fest than just classes and shopping; there’s also the fun of meeting new friends! The Meet-Up Table in the atrium (look for the balloons!) is the place to be. There will be knit- and crochet-alongs, stitch marker swaps, demos, and lots of opportunities for you to talk with other Houston area fiber enthusiasts who share your interests. When the vendor hall closes on Friday and Saturday evening, gather at the table to coordinate group outings to local restaurants.
