Ten Thousand Villages Cleveland Annual Oriental Rug Event
10:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Join us for our Annual Oriental Rug Event, featuring over 300 handknotted rugs all made by fairly paid adults, from 2'x3's to 10'x14's. Since our store is not large enough to carry these rugs year round, we host this special event once a year to bring these high quality, fairly traded handknotted rugs to our community from the Bunyaad Rug Room at Ten Thousand Villages, Ephrata, Pennsylvania.

It's an event not to miss as these fairly traded rugs represent a win-win situation for all.
