Peanut Brittle making will start Monday, November 1 at 8 a.m. and continue every Monday thru November 22. We need at least 30 volunteers to make the candy and some of our volunteers from two years ago are no longer able to help.

We are looking for NEW PEOPLE to come and help. Please let Tonya or Roger Edwards know if you are able to help even if only for one week. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year. We missed it last year. We hope to make up for it this year.
