Long time readers may remember the year I made a coupon for a free gift if you stopped by our booth at the Kentucky Wool Festival and voted for your favorite sheep.
In trying to get our team prepped for the upcoming Tour de Fleece I decided to create a Facebook Group for the race this year. Even though I don't enjoy FB, I realize that there are many people who only use that app and I hate missing out on their Tour updates. The main discussion group will continue to be on Ravelry, but I'll do my best to check in with FB as well.
There are several steps you go through to create a group page and one is deciding if your group will be private or public. Another is setting up your group rules and making sure everyone agrees to follow them.
I guessed decided that making the group private would be the safest thing. Anyone can join the group, but you'll have to ask. To prove you are not a robot or troll, you'll have to answer a security question. I'm sure you can guess what the question is ;-).
Regarding rules, you can set as many as you want. I didn't feel like trying to figure out a bazillion rules when I felt like one simple life rule should always suffice. Be kind. I trust that anyone who'd want to join our group is already living that, but just in case, there is a consequence for straying. I'm sure you can guess what that is as well ;-).
The Tour de Fleece is strictly for fun and is open to anyone interested in spinning or fiber work in general. You don't even need to know how to spin. You could use the race time to give it a try or just be a cheerleader and enjoy watching everyone's yarn pile up.
If you'd like to join the FB group I think all you need to do is click the link above and then follow the prompts. If that doesn't work, please let me know. I am not good at Facebook and frequently can't figure it out and find it very frustrating. I'd like to turn Maisie loose on it...but I'm afraid she wouldn't follow the rules ;-D.

I'll stick to Ravelry....
Have fun! I would like to spin my dog hair that I have all set to go but with my Moms heath being so precarious it is impossible to plan anything. Oh yes better not put Maisie in charge! Facebook can be tricky...I have two old family photos sites that are public and I keep getting trolls:(
I'm allergic to FB. Discord would be another option for your group.
I definitely prefer Ravelery. I'll check out discord. Thanks!
Hey Far Side, have you tried using a drop spindle? You could carry it with you! I'll send you an email.
