Community Chain - We need your help!
Come help us make MILES of Community Chain out of used bill board materials. Its built with dollar-bill size folded pieces. Add your links! We will provide all the materials. This chain will be re-used several times in the community - linking us all together - and will ultimately be installed early this summer at the corner of Main and Neil in Champaign IL on the fence surrounding the Metropolitan Building Fire site.
We already have an abundant amount of chain, but we still need more! Come in the store during our regular hours to help!
