This Show and Sale is a labor of love.  Many people put so much effort, creativity, and time into bringing this event to life.  It’s truly special to see.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered all year before that.  This Show and Sale is a ton of work and it wouldn’t be possible if we didn’t have so many people that loved it.
