Happy Late September and Autumn Equinox Yarnies!
Keep reading for the latest news in the Yarnies541 sphere.
This Saturday is the Eugene Bright Parade and Yarnies541 will be parading ith our sponsors Cozy and Stringfield Yarn Collective! If you are joining us in the parade, we are meeting at COZY (285 E. 5th Ave. in Eugene) at 6:30pm on Saturday to group up and walk the couple blocks to the parade route starting point. Other ways to participate include cheering from the sidelines, because spectating is a sport too in the performance art world!! Learn more about the Eugene Bright Parade Here
Karen from Cozy will be emailing a map of the route to folks that signed up to walk in the parade.
