Fiber Fun makes its way to the ‘Sip

Fiber Fun is making its way to the ‘Sip.

The goal is to encompass many areas of fiber crafting, such as knitting, crocheting, spinning and weaving. Vendors will be on hand to provide products that can be touched, sampled and purchased.

There will be a lineup of jazz and blues music, along with a “sit and stitch” area for those just looking to relax for the weekend. Catered food concessions and a cash bar will also be available, along with several restaurants within walking distance.

“With the renewed interest in the blues and the history of music in this area, there has been an influx of travelers that stop in Vicksburg just to explore our musical history and experience the unique live music offered here,” said Laura Beth Strickland, Communications Manager for the Vicksburg Convention and Visitors Bureau.

“While most visitors initially come to explore the role Vicksburg played in American history at the Vicksburg National Military Park, Old Courthouse museum, and other sites around the city, they are sometimes surprised to discover the impact the Mississippi Delta region has had on modern music,” said Strickland. “It adds another dimension to Vicksburg that people are eager to experience.”
