Fair Trade Gift Festival
The Gift Festival Rug Event at Fairfield Mennonite Church is a once a year special occasion. Bunyaad rugs brings 300-400 of their high quality, fairly traded, hand knotted rugs to our community from the Main Rug Gallery at Ten Thousand Villages, Ephrata, Pennsylvania. Feel the different textures and marvel at the unique designs of our collection of fairly traded Oriental rugs. It’s an event not to miss as these hand knotted, oriental rugs represent a win-win situation for all; high quality, fairly priced products for the consumer and fair-paying, consistent jobs for artisans.
