The Sharon Skill Swap is a one-day festival in the heart of Sharon. I have been posting for a few days, but if you missed it, you can read about the event at sharonconnects.org
"This is all great, but what will be offered and where?" is something I heard from people in town this weekend.
So in the coming days, I will answer a few questions you might have, here on Facebook.
What classes/workshops will be offered, and do I need to bring anything?
You can see a whole list of all classes at https://www.sharonconnects.org/event-overview.html
You don't have to bring anything, but some classes might be easier or more interesting if you do. For example, Karen Rodis' class is beginner watercolor. Do you have a set of watercolors you can bring so you can practice on your own?
Or Steve Gagliardone is about tuning a bike. Would be more fun if you brought your own bike to tune!
How do we register for classes?
1) Come the day of the event starting at 9 am. From 9 - 9:45, people will be able to register for all the classes. Some will fill up fast, so come early!!
2) You see a class you really really like, email us at sharonconnectsVT@gmail.com and we will TRY (but doubtful we will be successful) to save a spot for that class. But just so you are aware, we will not email participants in case the class is canceled. Life happens, and we want to give as much flexibility as possible to our instructors. There will be other terrific classes to choose from. Because of this flexibility, we cannot tell you at this time when the class will be running during the day or where!
What happens if the classes fill up?
We see that as a giant success on our part - the community came out! But that can be disappointing, and we understand that. We will have a way for you to connect with instructors, and a few spots for 'watching' the class but not fully participate.
Bring snowshoes and skates, the ice rink is open all day, and there are some nice tracks in the woods for a walk.
There might be other classes you thought might not interest you - give it a try!
We will also have coffee and donuts going all day in the gym - Come and sit, read a book, talk to your neighbors!
More info to come!
