We’re inviting our community to come together once again to create a beautiful scarf for the Sarah Josepha Hale statue in front of the library.
Here’s how you can contribute:
- Create a piece measuring 8 inches on one side (knit, crochet, weave).
- Bring your piece to the front desk of the library.
- Fill out a card with your contact information.
If you don’t have your own supplies, don’t worry! There will be supplies on display at the library and plenty of yarn to choose from.
We will kick off this event by celebrating Sarah Josepha Hale’s birthday on Saturday, October 24th, from 10:00am-2:00pm at the Richards Free Library! Supplies will be available and we will begin accepting pieces to assemble into a single, magnificent scarf.
Then, on Friday, November 20th come and sip some cider at the “Wrap Party” where we will wrap the scarf around the Sarah Josepha Hale statue in time to honor her for Thanksgiving. The scarf will remain on display until the first snowfall and will be taken down before the New Year.
Let’s come together to celebrate Sarah Josepha Hale and keep her warm this season.
