 FLASH BENEFIT: FEEDSACK APRONS for 
BERNE PUBLIC LIBRARY
With a gift of a dozen authentic vintage feedsacks, we made full-length aprons, which sold out in five days. We sent all proceeds to the library to purchase a wall display system for artwork, photographs, and other exhibits. Read our Letter to the Editor of the Altamont Enterprise.
