Community Service Can be Fun

  Every year the Guild puts together a Make it and take it for the fair.  This is our community service coupled with promoting Art Dolls.  In 2010 we were able to make over 1400 Pin dolls with the help of surrounding doll clubs in Ohio.  That was a record number of Make it and Take faces.  Below are some pictures of people enjoying themselves coloring in the faces. We talk to thousands of Ohio State Fair visitors every year.
