YREKA—The Siskiyou Golden Fair recently announced its “Give Away A Smile” program that donates homemade toys to the Siskiyou Domestic Violence and Crisis Center for a child in need.
Participants can enter handmade stuffed animals, soft toys, blankets or pillows in Division 242 of the Clothing and Textiles Department. The items will be judged and displayed at the fair, and then all will be donated to Domestic Violence. The deadline to enter is July 11.
“The fair and Domestic Violence are very pleased to be partnering on this great project” said fair CEO Rebecca Desmond. I encourage everyone who can sew, knit, crochet or simply create a comforting toy for a needy child to enter them in the fair. It is a very rewarding and worthy endeavor.”
