Craft Stash Sale
Saturday, February 8 | 9 to 11 am
Mermaid Plaza, 1 E Main St. The Stash Sale focuses on quilting, knitting, sewing, embroidery, and crochet materials and supplies. Your neighbors have donated unused material from their stashes, and we will sell it at bargain prices! To help stock this sale, we would love to have your donations. You can drop off your supplies to the library any time we are open up until Monday, February 3rd. No donations after this date as our volunteers need time to process and set up. Funds raised will support library programs and we're grateful to all our volunteers, donors, and shoppers for making this event possible! |
