In addition to active sponsorship of activities such as art in the schools, the Fremont Cultural Arts Council provides a "clearinghouse" for the Arts and other charitable and non-profit activities in the area, helping these organizations to avoid event scheduling conflicts and publishing a calendar of events via our newsletter, the Fremont Focus, and on this website.

The Wonderful Knitting Machine A video documentary presentation by the Circular stocking knitting machines were developed shortly following the invention of other labor saving mechanical devices, such as the sewing machine. These ingenious machines were produced in a number of versions by several manufacturers by the late 1800's. Because stockings were so important to the health of troops fighting in the sodden trenches of France during World Ware One (1914-1918), the International Red Cross asked each of their divisions to provide knitted goods for the war effort, and offered circular sock knitting machines to those who would commit to making a minimum of 30 pairs of stockings for the troops.
