Mark your calendar to attend the Fall Rug Hook-In!

Warm, welcoming, relaxing is the vibe you will experience at the annual Fall Rug Hook-In held at Sauder Heritage Inn. The spacious retreat room, set with round tables, allows for room to spread your project and join with friends while you hook.

Our retreats are held at the gorgeous Sauder Heritage Inn, providing a country lodge feel with natural wood timbers, atrium, hand forged lighting & railings, and unique artwork throughout the building. Additional amenities include an indoor pool with waterfall, hot tub, game room, and exercise room. Snacks, beer, and wine are available for purchase at the Front Desk too!

No matter what stage you are in with a hooked piece, this retreat is a great time to catch up on projects, share ideas with other rug hooking enthusiasts, and show off your work during the “Throw Down”. While there is no formal instruction or teachers at this self-guided retreat, other attendees are always willing to help with a project. 

What to expect…

Rug hooking enthusiasts like yourself, will gather in the spacious and well-lit Homestead meeting room at the Sauder Heritage Inn, where you can spread out your work, have fun catching up with friends, be encouraged, delighted, and productive.

What’s included?

Your retreat fee includes all meals (lunches and dinners), snacks, artisan made daily door prizes, and admission to the Historic Sauder Village with a free treat coupon.

Meals

Healthy, refreshing lunches and dinners are served in your retreat room and included in your retreat fee.

Admission to Historic Sauder Village

Every retreat participant receives an admission pass to visit the Historic Sauder Village on either Friday or Saturday. Take a stroll through time starting in the 1830s at Natives & Newcomers and discover the many handwoven items used in daily life. All created from plant fibers! Be sure to find the gardens at each homestead and which one is growing special corn to make brooms. Don’t forget the silent movies, popcorn, and ice cream in the 1920s where you can redeem your treat coupon at the Soda Fountain. The farm animals will be looking for you!
