248 Sleeps Left!



Only 248 sleeps until the OHCG Annual Conference, May 10, 2025, in Cobourg!


This year we’re holding the event at Cobourg’s historic Victoria Hall - in the Ballroom, no less!  It’s a one day affair with interesting speakers, vendors, a display of judged rugs, and the all-important Annual General Meeting.


The theme for the day is Peace, Love & Rug’n Roll - a lighthearted take on the swingin’ 60’s, which is exactly when the Ontario Hooking Craft Guild got its start!  Look for our free pattern later this fall, to get you in the mood!


We’ll publish more details about all the things you’ll need to know in the coming months.  Registration will open January 1, and space is limited to 240 attendees, so you’ll want to get tuned in (aka registered) early.


We’ve negotiated preferred rates at 2 local hotels, if you’re interested in making a weekend of it (and we hope you do!).  Details can be found here.  Many of you live nearby, however, so it may be a short drive to downtown Cobourg.  Alternatively, if you live along the Toronto-Montreal corridor there’s always VIA Rail:  it’s a 15 minute walk from the train station to Victoria Hall.


So bust out that tie dye outfit and make plans for Cobourg!
