Dee and other members of the HHCC have kindly offered to arrange to pick us up at the Brewster MetroNorth station (not as far as Pawling) and chauffeur us for the remainder of the trip (& back to the train station afterwards). This is a great opportunity to get to know each other. If this interests you, please contact Dee ASAP so we can coordinate the seats needed with the number of drivers available.
For NYCCG members, if you'd like to participate but need transportation, please let Dee know (CrochetWithDee@aol.com).
Everyone, please dress appropriately! This is a working farm, so expect to get dirty. Also, wear your Chapter T-shirts so we can create that sea of Blue & Purple! :)
Update from Dee:
There is a yarn store that we will be passing on our return trip called "The Yarn Central Store" (it's NEW!) #2593 on Route 52, in Hopewell Junction, New York. They are now offering a 10% discount off regular prices when you display your valid CGOA Membership Card. Phone # (845) 223-8355.
