Happenings @ the Freight Shed: May 3rd -- Bath Freight Shed Yard Sale, Mayfair 2014

Turn your attic treasures into materials to restore the Freight Shed!

This granite counter top is just one of the great things that will be on sale at the Bath Freight Shed Yard Sale this Saturday, May 3rd, 9 to 1pm.


Drop off your gently used items on Friday, May 2nd after 1:30

We'll be getting ready on Friday afternoon from 1:30 onwards and welcome volunteers on Saturday too!

Email Merry Chapin for information and to volunteer!

Thank you for making the Mayfair Yard sale a resounding success!

A huge THANK YOU to Maine's First Ship (MFS) and Gayla Teague, Joanne Luneau and Merry Chapin for their tremendous generosity in running the May Fair Yard Sale! 

They raised close to $800 and shared their enthusiasm for this special place and the MFS/BFSA collaboration with many Freight Shed visitors on Saturday. 

Thanks to all the people who donated great items for the sale - your donations became funds which will go directly into paying down what we owe on our new roof. The Freight Shed also now has a great collection of dishes, mugs and flat ware that came in during the last few winter markets. 

News from the Bath Freight Shed: Coming up in April

Dear Freight Shed Alliance Friends, 

As we wrap up our first winter season of the Bath Farmers Market I wanted to call your attention to April's market mornings and would like to encourage everyone to help get the word out and be involved. These mornings are such a great time to strike up the conversations that get people to become part of the BFSA. 

On March 15th, Andrew Deci gave a tour of the Freight Shed to a group from the Maine Downtown Institute Conference - it was safe to say that they left energized to tackle what may seem like impossibly challenging projects in their own down towns based on what they saw. It is daunting at times but with this team that is growing it is very encouraging!

Mark your Calendars!

Our next meeting BFSA will be on April 10th at noon in the Freight Shed. It's an important meeting as we look toward summer projects and events at the Freight Shed.

For the time being our Hands On Fridays have been put on hold as we regroup. With warmer weather promised we look forward to organizing a variety of work groups to suit different schedules.


Best,
Wiebke
