Tips & Advice
- Pick up a dessert for your Thanksgiving table at the bake sale, since the Extravaganza falls on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
- Read the packaging on bake sale items, because bakers are asked to note nut content and whether treats are gluten free, dairy free, vegan or Keto.
- Bring your Christmas list, because nearly 80 vendors sell one-of-a-kind handmade gifts and you can knock out much of your shopping in one stop.
- If you bake, drop off your donations in Room 180 off The Commons on the Friday before, to support the College Scholarship Fund.
