SEPT 2024: CAPS FOR CANCER AT THE NC MOUNTAIN STATE FAIR

Let’s go team Local Cloth!!  

Last year we formed a team of LC members and entered 26 hats in the Caps for Cancer exhibit.  

This year, time is short (very short mea culpa)!  Deadline for the hats to be entered on-line is Aug 23, so I will need your information about number of hats and what category they should be placed in just before that time (age group and crochet, knitted, or constructed, i.e. sewn). Here is a pdf of the information with my notes inked in.

I volunteer to deliver them to the Ag center Sept 2 or 3, 2024 and also to pick up our ribbons after the fair and judging is complete!!! 

Please let me know that you are interested in/ or already making hats by emailing Susette!  

Volunteer hanging up hats for the exhibition in 2023:

Patterns and suggestions of materials can be found at Knots of Love.  Free patterns can be found many other places.  Here is the blog from last year containing photos of our hats from 2023!  If you like any of those patterns contact Susette who will direct you to pattern sources.

Caps for Cancer at the NC Mountain State Fair is posted online.  The fair runs September 6-15, 2024 at the WNC Agriculture Center in Fletcher where the caps we have been working on will be displayed. 

This competition event is in its second year at the fair. Local Cloth team hats will be judged this year for ribbons!! All of the caps will be donated and delivered to the Messina Cancer Centers of Western North Carolina.
