Guild activities currently include doing school demonstrations throughout the Central Susquehanna Valley; participation at local and regional historic reenactments; presenting fiber demonstrations at community sponsored events; serving as docents and consultants at local and regional historical sites, festivals, and museums; and working with Scouts and other interested groups, all in an effort to promote the fiber arts. In October 2006, the Guild presented a month-long show and sale of members' work at the historic Gutelius House in Mifflinburg, was part of the Mifflinburg area Historic House Tour, and participated in Krist Kindle Market, a traditional PA German Christmas celebration in Central PA.
