Participants can bring up to 10 skeins of yarn to the library through Friday, October 11th in exchange for tickets that'll be used during the swap on Saturday. Each ticket is valid for one new-to-you yarn skein. This is your last opportunity to see The Art of James M. Williams at the Cortez Public Library. The exhibit is a collection of art and historical works with some dating back 85 million years. It'll be on display through Tuesday, October 15th.
