Saturday March 28, 2026 10:00am - 11:45am EDT

Back for the 7th year. Any crafter knows that buying, organizing, and using craft supplies are 3 separate hobbies. Bring the craft supplies that you no longer want or need and pick up some FREE crafting items you'll actually use*. [*no promises]. Are your jewelry making supplies gathering dust and you find yourself really into embroidery instead? Want to begin painting, knitting, cross stitching, paper crafting but don't have supplies to get started? C’mon down! After the first 15 minutes - when everyone who brought items has time to go through the tables - everyone else (that means you!) is welcome. Come find some treasures to take home. Get set up for your new hobby. For free. Items not claimed at the end of the session will be donated.
Please Note: Everyone will be asked to use the provided hand sanitizer before digging through the Treasure Hoard.
