The Women at Work Museum at the Annual Expo for the Senses

At the Women at Work Museum, we always strive to be involved in the Greater Attleboro community. This summer, we took part in the exciting 1st annual Expo for the Senses.

At the Expo, our volunteers helped kids make simple but colorful spun-yarn bracelets to take home.

The bracelets were a hit and lots of kids (and grown-ups!) came back to make second and even third bracelets for themselves and for friends.

We also ran a “Do You Know Your Women’s History?” raffle to win a Chamilia bracelet, generously donated by the Attleboro Jewelry Makers Outlet.Our stand was located on the common in Gilbert Perry Square.There were also special activities at the Museum, too!

We’d like to thank Attleboro Mayor Kevin Dumas for his vision and Expo Committee members Dianne Thurber, Mim Fawcett, Raymond Norman, Jim Jones, Josh Perry and Nancy Young for making this event possible!
