Spring Getaway

 

Life’s Like a Box of Chocolates
March 29 – April 1, 2010
Triangle y camp


Come and join us for cooler weather, fun, quilting and shopping at Spring Get-a-way, “Life’s Like a Box of Chocolates”.  Spaces are filling up quickly so let Arminda know if you’re going to join the festivities.

The total price for this retreat is $169.00.  Not a bad price for such a great time!!  Your deposit of $50 needs to be received by the February 10th   (nonrefundable).  The balance needs to be paid by March 16th.  Payments can be made weekly, bi-weekly or monthly as long as the balance is paid by the due date.
 
This year we’ll have our Silent Auction, so you can bid on handiwork or make something to sell.  This is always an exciting, profitable and competitive time.  Awards will be presented to those items that are most creative, colorful, and interesting.

We’ll take some time to give back to the community by making some pillow cases.  And, of course, the entertainment on Saturday night, never know who will show up….remember Spring Get-a-way last year we had a visit from the Beach Girls!!

Throughout our weekend we’ll have drawings for prizes.  If you want to participate you purchase a $20 gift and you’ll go home with another gift.  We’ll also have the Thread and Fat Quarter give-a-way – to participate bring one spool of new thread and/or Fat Quarter.

Come and get started on your Spring projects, visit with friends, and take a hike in the cool beautiful desert.   This will be a fun, fun time!!
