Fiber artists transform Nome schoolhouse into Nome wool house
After spending three years and $4 million turning a derelict school building into a combination fiber-arts center/fiber farm/fiber mill/boutique hotel/events center, Chris Armbrust and Teresa Perleberg might have the last laugh against any skeptics. The public is invited to view the fruits of their labor during a grand opening event July 1-4 that will feature tours, a five-course dinner and, to cap it all off, a Fourth of July celebration and fireworks show. 5:33 pm, Jul. 1, 2021
