Warm The Children, Chill The Wine
Wine bottle caps & scarves benefit "Warm The Children"

 JACKSON, MI - November 20, 2009 -
Calling all knitters and crocheters! From now through December 12, the winery is
collecting wine bottle hats or hat & scarf sets. They're a great way to use
up little bits of yarn in your "stash."
Starting at Sandhill Crane Vineyards' Holiday Open House on December 12, the winery will offer the hats and hat/scarf sets
when customers purchase a bottle of our wine. They are free with a donation to Warm
The Children. The hats or hat/scarf sets are great to dress up a gift bottle of wine, or decorate your home for the holidays.
If knitters would like to create hats or hat/scarf sets as a donation to
Warm The Children, several free patterns are available online:

The project is based on "The Big Knit," an annual charity fund drive in the U.K. for Innocent Drinks - http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/thebigknit/.
If knitters would prefer printed patterns, please contact
the winery at 517-764-0679 to pick one up. Yarn is also available -- just call ahead.
Notes regarding purchases: One set per person. First come, first served. Minimum donation: $5.
