Hibbi's News page: an overview
Here, we announce new product lines or seasonal offers but the main purpose is to tell you about events that we will be attending. Most ornaments are too heavy to post but we attend shows and craft fairs on a regular basis so people outside the North East can see and purchase products, without having to travel too far.
We can now list some of the events that we will be attending in your area during 2008. Please note that information here is provided in good faith but events may be cancelled at short notice due to circumstances beyond our control and before we can notify people on this page. We therefore recommend contacting the organisers before travelling to avoid disappointment. Also note that there is an admission charge for most events.
