This event is by far our largest fundraiser and we couldn’t have done it without you!  Thank you to everyone who volunteered for endless hours sorting, cleaning, and displaying the numerous items sold!  We certainly appreciate all of the generous people who donated items as well as the kind folks who attended the sale and purchased treasures!  We have the area cleaned up and ready for next year!
