BELFAST — Broadreach Family & Community Services is preparing for its next event to raise funds for its early childhood education program — a Stashbuster Fiber and Fabric Fair on Saturday, Sept. 27 from 9 a.m. to noon in the Abbott Room of the Belfast Free Library. Each day calls are being fielded and deliveries are being arranged for skeins of yarn, yards of fabric, smaller bundles for quilting and other projects, and fiber arts equipment and supplies — from knitting needles to patterns to bias tape.

“We have been receiving some beautiful and high quality items that we expect will sell out quickly at the fair. All items will certainly be a great deal for the buyer and we will be sure to have inventory for both the serious and casual fabric artists of all ages,” said Sue diRosario, Broadreach’s director of philanthropy and community relations.

“A special thanks goes out to our sponsors of this event, Heavenly Sock Yarns of Belfast, WORKS of Searsport, The Purple Fleece of Stockton Springs, Fiddehead Artisan Supply, and Good Karma Farm & Spinning Company, both of Belfast. We know these are wonderful local resources for the fabric artist and we are thrilled that they are our sponsors.”

If you have items to donate, please contact diRosario by September 20 at 338-2200 x 201 or sdirosario@brmaine.org.
