Fun & Unique Quilt Show in Highlands Ranch!

Gather your friends and come to a great quilt show; make it a road trip!
Each year, Firehouse Quilts has a fundraising quilt show and contest to help them continue their mission of helping children in crisis and in need. This is a fun and unique quilt show with more than 100 quilts, both old and new, on display. Local quilters are invited and encouraged to display their quilts and have a chance to win some nice prizes and get some proud recognition in their own community. There is even a special category for kids 18 & under, to enter their quilts and be judged among their own age group.

Live musicians play relaxing music in the display hall, 25 vendors sell their wares, Bed Turning (examples of over 100 FHQ snuggle quilts are shown and described), Wild Blue, an on-site cafe is available for you to buy snacks & drinks, beautiful wooden rocking chairs on the back patio to sit and take in the view of our gorgeous front range mountains.

The Dalmatian dog, their quilt show logo, (Apple Cider) http://www.firehousequilts.org/dogwthmom.htm, will be at the show daily, between 1p-3p for free pictures with the public so be sure to bring your camera!

ADMISSION: $7 at the door, $6 in advance from FHQ members (both fees allow re-entry on Saturday!) For advance tickets, call Sue Flesher (303) 249-7684.

SHOW DATES: Friday July 18, 2008 (Hours 12pm - 8pm), Saturday July 19, 2008 (Hours 10am - 4pm)

Come to the show and help support our local charity group that gives back to our community every day. They volunteer their time to make snuggle quilts for the fire departments of Colorado. The fire fighters give these quilts to children they see on their emergency runs. Children may have been in a car wreck or a fire or any other traumatic event, but they are calmed and reassured with their very own quilt, generously donated by the volunteers of Firehouse Quilts.
