The Fisk-a-Friendzy in Deerfield, MA is an all day Fisk-a-Love event on Saturday, October 25th.
We are meeting at the Holiday Inn Holyoke.
245 Whiting Farms Road
Holyoke, MA 01040
(413) 534-3311
The day will start at 10 Am with an open crop time as we wait for everyone to arrive. You will want to be there before Noon when we head over to Yankee Candle where we have reservations for a delicious lunch in the Wine Cellar at Chandler’s. After lunch we will spend the next 2 hours enjoying the sights and smells of Yankee Candle.
Some highlights at Yankee Candle:
- They have beautiful decorations for the holidays so there will be plenty of photo ops to satisfy all our scrapbooking urges.
- As we stroll through the Black Forest it snows indoors!
- We can visit Santa Claus and his elves in the Bavarian Christmas Village.
- Mrs. Clause has her own bakery (I hear it’s Santa’s favorite!)
- We can dip our own candles.
- There are candle making demonstrations of the 1830s 3 times every day.
- So, so much more!
Around 4 Pm we will head back to the Holiday Inn for lots of FUN, crafting and prizes. (I hear there is even a special craft planned *wink*) Dinner will be brought in and we will spend the night cropping and Fisk-a-Friendzy-ing away. =)
You get all of this for just $20!!!!!
To sign up, please email Carrie@brainsonfire.com and put Deerfield Fisk-a-Friendzy in the subject line. Be sure to include your name, contact info and Fisk-a-Teer number.
If you are interested in staying over at the Holiday Inn (at your expense) please email me at kellyjo@fiskateers.com and mention if you are interested in sharing a room. I will email you room details and I will try to connect Fisk-a-Teers that are interested in rooming.
I am so Excited!!!
Stay tuned. Laura C. is on a special Fisk-a-Friendzy assignment and will have more to report in the coming weeks.

September 14th, 2008 at 3:59 pmWaaaaaah! I want to go so badly…doubly so since you’re going to Yankee Candle. I looooooove their stuff! I didn’t even know they had tours. It sounds fun! I’m such a dork about that kind of thing. I want to go to the Jelly Belly factory too.
Just a funny side note: When I told Scott how jealous I was that you guys are not only Fiskafriendzy-ing but visiting Yankee Candle. He replies, “Oh, which region is that? Is that the one they are holding in Tennessee?”
Uh…hello…it’s *Yankee* candle, Scott. Too funny!

September 15th, 2008 at 1:08 amI am just going to cry. You guys are going to have so much fun. I don’t know why no one wants to come to the swamp. Dawn and I could take everyone to the Okefenokee to see gators and snakes. Than we could come back via Clyattville so you could smell the pulp mill. It would really be a whole lot of fun-we would contact the families of anyone the mosquitoes tote off!

September 16th, 2008 at 5:08 pmHey, there! Can’t wait for this! It’s a great excuse to go 1 1/4 from my house and FINALLY see Yankee Candle!
Do we need to bring any supplies with us or will all the crafting goodies be provided?
Thanks, Fisk-a-teers!
