Enjoy These Special Activities during Friday Nite Lights:

Bears & More
Enjoy a needle felting class! This is a craft that everyone can do.  All you need is some wool roving, a felting needle and a piece of foam and you can make just about anything!  Currently classes are held on the 3rd Friday of each month from 5 - 9 p.m.  Additional days and times are planned and will be added as needed.  The classes cost between $35 - $45 and that includes all your materials.  You'll end up with a finished (or almost!) animal to take home along with a needle and the basic skills of needle felting. There are no limits to this craft with all sorts of animals, ornaments, fairies, and pin cushions made with just a bit of roving and needle poking. If you aren't sure if this is for you, stop in during class time and take a peek to see what it's all about. Bears & More: 7146 N. 58th Dr. 623-931-0339.
