Saturday features The Silk Road Pilgrimage. This off-site activity is for Significant Others of KWAR attendees(and anyone else who is interested). Led by some of our most talented local shoppers, this expedition will journey through embroidery shops, leather stores and on to the fabled Silk Road shop.
