The Boardman Fall Quilt Show at Boardman Senior Center is set to take place Oct. 13-14.
Boardman Quilt Group members have just completed their 2017 Raffle Quilt and Tickets are now on sale for a chance to win the 2017 Raffle Quilt.
The quilt will be exhibited for viewing and tickets will be available for purchase at the Oct. 7 Boardman Sage Center Harvest Festival and during the show at Boardman Senior Center. The winning ticket will be drawn the afternoon of Oct. 14, the last day of the 2017 show.

Family heritage quilts are welcome for display, as well as quilts made by the exhibitors. There is no fee to enter a quilt, but an entry form is required.
