• Harvest Sale Silent Auction: To keep things fun, fair, and running smoothly, we ask that only adults handle written bids. This allows our committee to spend less time making corrections or monitoring the area and more time supporting the event where needed. We truly appreciate your cooperation and support in making the Harvest Sale an enjoyable experience. Thank you!
