Also, the Art Center has on display knitted, crocheted and loomed hats created by the Paris Hat Project Inc., a nonprofit organization with volunteers that knit, crochet and loom hats to make sure the children in Edgar County have a hat to wear during the winter months.

It is a community program made up of individuals who are inspired to do something for others by using their knitting, crocheting and craft skills. Their goal in 2012 was to provide handmade hats to all preschoolers through fourth-graders in Paris. Their goal in 2013 is to provide hats to all preschool through fifth-grade children in Edgar County, which includes Paris, Shiloh, Kansas and Chrisman. Donations of yarn will be accepted (bulky No. 6 is what a lot of the loomers use), or Knifty Knitter round looms in green or purple. Also monetary donations will be accepted to purchase yarn and looms. For additional information, contact Brenda Wright at 217-264-2761.

The Bicentennial Art Center is at 132 S. Central Ave. in Paris, and is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. CST Tuesday through Friday or by appointment. Admission is free and the Art Center is handicap accessible. Call 217-466-8130.
