2012 Men's Fall Knitting Retreat

Labor Day is our running tradition for this event and this year, Labor Day long weekend is Thursday, August 30th through Sunday, September 2nd. I’ve confirmed this weekend with Judy at Dumas Bay Centre (the past 3 year’s retreat location/site) and they are very excited to have us back. We have reserved Banquet Room 3 again (called Eagleview Room, with AC!!) for our group.

Here’s the price breakdown for the retreat this year. We’ve had a $20 increase over last year which we hope is not too much of a budgeting burden for you.
