TUF Kids, Parents, Friends of The Farm:

This Saturday, May 1st the TUF 4H club will be having their annual bake sale during Mulch Pickup.  The kids have asked that everyone provide homemade baked goods.  Last year they made almost $400 in about 3 hours. They could have made more but they ran out of baked goods.  All the funds are used to help pay the costs of participating in county fair in August.

The kids are requesting your help in preparing homemade goodies.  All items must be individually wrapped in plastic wrap or in a ziplock type baggie.

Please drop off your goodies by 6:00 pm tomorrow (Friday) or at the latest — 7:00 am on Saturday morning.  The Bake Sale starts at 7:30.

Kids and parents are needed to help with this event. Donations of coffee are appreciated as well.

Thank you on the kids behalf.
