25th Annual Baking Fest and Silent Auction

 

Have you been missing our annual Baking Fest? Bakers (and tasters) rejoice! We will once again be hosting the event, and this year, returning to our very own Carriage House Bakery for the festivities. The event will take place on Sunday, December 4th, from 12pm to 3pm.

There will be 5 categories on the sampling table…

  • Cookies
  • Desserts
  • Savory
  • Special Diet (i.e. Vegan, Gluten-Free, Diabetic Friendly)
  • Professional

Winners of each category will receive a $25 Co-op Gift Card. Bakers can register their baked goods online (see button below) or stop into the store to fill out a registration form.

This event is a great opportunity to mingle with friends and fellow members, sample delicious homemade baked goods, bid on your favorites, and help the Co-op raise money for a good cause. As is our tradition, all proceeds from the Silent Auction (and any additional donations) will benefit the Potsdam Neighborhood Center, a local organization that provides food and other financial assistance to community members in need. We hope you’ll join us!

For questions about this event, please email us or call us at (315) 265-4630.
