Join the Bag Project Group
For fifteen years, the Cricket’s Nest Bag Committee has handcrafted bags for valued customers. The bags are given to customers who purchase $25 or more during several festivals and during the holiday shopping season.
Beginning with just three members creating 65 bags during the first holiday season, our group now surpasses 1,100 reusable shopping bags annually. If you’ve contributed a handmade bag over these past 15 years, thank you immensely for boosting sales and aiding environmental conservation efforts by reducing plastic waste.
To Join the project you must be a member of The Cricket’s Nest.
