Cotton Candy Fabrics opens at Simsbury Center with ribbon-cutting

Cotton Candy Fabrics opened its new Simsbury Center location at a ribbon-cutting event during which organizers thanked local volunteers, staff and contractors and invited the community to visit the shop and sign up for classes.

The event included brief remarks from a host who welcomed attendees and introduced staff. A store representative thanked longtime local quilters and said the business hopes to carry that quilting legacy forward: "We're so excited to be here in Simsbury," the presenter said, asking for community support.

The presenter credited manufacturing partners and local volunteers for helping the store open after construction challenges, naming several people who assisted in the final days, and listed staff who will run classes in the new location, including Mary Beth as an instructor. She also thanked architect Michael for preparing plans quickly when the town requested them.

Organizers invited staff and partners to a group photo before formally announcing the store was open and thanking the chamber for its welcome. The opening is positioned as a continuation of local quilting traditions and a new retail option for Simsbury residents.

No formal actions or permits were discussed during the remarks; details such as store hours and the schedule of classes were not specified during the event.
