Our Quilt Show is a fundraiser sponsored by the Little Chute Historical Society for our authentic,
fully functioning, 1850’s design Dutch Windmill. The Windmill is a non-profit organization
run by volunteers. The entry fee for your quilt provides working capital for the windmill and
also gives you free entry to the quilt show for the whole weekend ($6.00 value or more
if you choose to come everyday) & gives you a tour of the windmill.
