Fall Bead Retreat at Tulakogee Conference Center on Lake Ft. Gibson Oct. 26-29th
The OBS Bead Retreats focus on casual fun, friendship
and BEADING.
Your bead retreat fee of $155
for members is all
inclusive...there is nothing to
buy at Tulakogee. All meals
and drinks are included. Some
of us bring snacks to share for
the midnight beading snack
attacks. You may bring your
own drink cup if you wish.
There will be patterns shared with you and a project
needs sheet distributed but feel free to bring your own
kits and projects if you desire. Many do. Again, this
weekend is all about friendship, relaxation and beading.
It's bead all you want, at your own pace. There are no
theft problems at the camp. You can leave your projects
and beads set up when you leave the room for bed.
Except for a special project on Saturday, we don't feel
the need to work on the same projects. You don't need to
participate if you don't feel like it. If you need help, we
have several qualified bead instructors to help you. Just
ask us!
Rooms have a spacious shower and
separate toilet room for privacy.
There are no TVs. WiFi is "spotty" in
this location. Food is very basic but
the view is spectacular! Deer often
come down in the fall to visit.
Bring your CDs for music!
Lights brought from home are necessary for beading
Tulakogee is a Christian
establishment. Please dress and
behave appropriately. No
alcohol/illegal drugs.
Don't forget your medications! Many of us bring
our own blankets and beading chairs although a
coverlet for the bed is furnished. Sheets and
pillow are furnished. Remember, you must bring
some type of beading light.
Arrival time: 3 p.m. Friday. Departure Sunday 3 p.m. There is a
Thursday arrival option that must be reserved and has an extra fee
and extra requirements for meal sharing.
Dining is serve yourself buffet
style and sit wherever you
wish. Most of us try to sit at a
different table each meal in
order to talk to everyone!
