Upcoming Events
4-H Winter Craft Series
Get creative this winter with hands-on projects that are great for entering at the fair. The first 4-H Winter Craft Session will be held from 5:30-7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4 at the Springfield Oaks Event Center and it will focus on Kinusaiga fabric art. Kinusaiga is a Japanese art technique that uses small pieces of fabric tucked into grooves in a foam board to create a colorful picture or design. No sewing is required! Participants will learn how to layer and secure the fabric to create their own unique piece of artwork.
All materials will be provided. This class is suitable for ages 8+. Because sharp knives and other tools will be used during the project, youth under age 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Adults who would like to make their own craft must register as a participant as well.
Cost is $20/participant. Online registration is open now. Other sessions in the 4-H Winter Craft Series will include horse and dog lead braiding, cooking decorating, sewing crafts, embroidery and more. Upcoming craft dates are:

About
Springfield Oaks is home of the historic Ellis Barn and annual Oakland County Fair, which draws 100,000+ visitors annually to the 10-day event. The 1884 Ellis Barn is 14,000-square-feet and features an indoor riding arena, 11 box stalls, mechanical exercise ring and cavernous second floor for hay and straw. The barn was donated by former major league baseball players Kirk Gibson and Tim Birtsas and moved from its original located on Dixie Highway to Springfield Oaks in 2005. Today, the barn is used to host weddings and special events like the Michigan Antique Festival. The park also offers a multipurpose room for banquets, reunions and seminars as well as exhibit hall space. The grounds include two outdoor arenas.
