Casselton is about to get a little more colorful! Casselton Public Art Task Force is hosting a one-of-a-kind Yarn Art Event at Midnight Solution Dog Park on Saturday, May 17, and you’re invited to join the fun!

Whether you’re a crochet queen, a fiber newbie, or just someone who loves a good community project, this event is for you. We’re transforming the park’s chain-link fence into a giant canvas of color, texture, and imagination—and we need your creative touch to make it happen.

Here’s how it works:

• Sign up solo or round up a team (no need to have all your teammates confirmed yet!)
• Claim your section of the fence
• Use the yarn provided (or bring your own stash!) to create a masterpiece—patterns, pictures, or wild abstract designs are all fair game
• Bring your own scissors and any tools you love using

No experience? No problem! This event is open to all ages and skill levels, and it’s all about having fun and connecting with others through creativity.

“Public art doesn’t have to be permanent or traditional—it can be fun, unexpected, and accessible to everyone,” says Char Gust, a member of the Public Art Task Force. “This event is about bringing people together, celebrating creativity, and making our public spaces more inviting and engaging.”

Yarn donations welcome! Got some leftover yarn collecting dust? We’ll happily take it off your hands and turn it into something beautiful.

Spots are limited, so sign up now and be part of this colorful Casselton moment: https://tinyurl.com/dogparkart
