Thank you to everyone that donated products for our sale. Without all the amazing creators we would not be able to host such a wonderful event. The last drop off day was held September 27th in order to allow our Custodians to sort and price all the donations. If you missed the deadline, not to worry, we start collecting for next year right away.
