Help Owego get ready for the 2015 Strawberry Festival one stitch at a time

Do you knit or crochet? The Tioga Arts Council and Historic Owego Marketplace invite you to create 12”x12” squares to wrap around the trees in downtown Owego. Team up with other knitters to cover a whole tree.

Donated squares can be dropped off at the Tioga Arts Council, 179 Front St., or at Riverow Bookshop, 187 Front St. There’s no cost to participate. Acrylic yarn only, please.
