FARMINGTON — Everyone’s Resource Depot has announced the schedule for its July arts and crafts workshops. The programs are open to creative kids of all ages, and will be held from 3 to 4 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays during July.
Each workshop will feature a variety of craft projects using scrap materials. Children will be assisted by student workers from the University of Maine at Farmington’s Upward Bound program.
