Tie Drive

Upcoming hands-on weaving exhibit requires the community to "tie one on!"

Whether they're wide, skinny, vintage, novelty, striped or polka-dot,
we need your clean, used ties for weaving at - where else? - the spot!

Celebrate Dad and help our emerging children's museum by donating clean neckties for the spot's upcoming hands-on weaving exhibit! Our month-long "Tie Drive" kicks off at the June 19 Science Saturday Event this weekend. Bring a tie and be entered to win our Grand Prize drawing on Friday, July 30.

Your necktie donations will be used in an exciting weaving exhibit in which children and parents will explore different looms, weaving tools, textiles, vocabulary, history and even some unexpected elements!

Come to our contest kick-off and celebrate Dad at Science Saturday this weekend. Buy your tickets for this special event online or at the door. Two 2-hour sessions are being offered - first at 10am and second at 1pm. What better way for dads and kids to spend time together celebrating fatherhood, learning together, and supporting our community?
