Woof, Beater, Warp, Shuttle… Join Darke County Parks’ Volunteers,
Edward and Joan Leighner, as they host an educational lesson on weaving
rag rugs. The program will be held at Shawnee Prairie Preserve

operate a loom, what to use and what not to use when making a
rug. Each participant will get a chance to try their “crafty”
hand at running the shuttle of woof through the warped loom, before you
know it you will be prepared and ready to get your loom up and
running. The cost of this program is $5 and pre-registration is
