World's Biggest Bake Sale May 31st 10am-6pm
http://biggestbakesale.com/
The organizers of the bake sale understand that a lot of people in our community have allergies and dietary restrictions. We also understand the severity of some allergies and sensitivities and wouldn't want to be responsible for anyone having a reaction. We cannot guarantee that any of the items baked in home kitchens would be completely safe for these people. Having said that, we will have a limited supply of nut-free, gluten-free and vegan items that are being donated from bakeries. The demand is high and supply limited so we can't guarantee that there will be some available all day. The majority of baked goods will be in variety packs of 5 for $5. We will also have some cupcakes for sale individually for $1 and fancier items available individually for $2. This is a rain or shine event
