Bake Sale + Baking Contest!: The Fall Festival is the place for all things sweet and savory, baked by our enthusiastic neighbors in Carson. This year, we are upping the ante with a baking contest!

The theme for this year's baking contest is the "chocolate chip cookie". There are only four rules:

1) It must contain chocolate chips.

2) It must be a cookie.

3) You must be physically present for the contest.

4) You must bring 8 or more cookies. 4 for the contest, the rest as donations to the bake sale.

(Yes, this means you can get creative, even weird, with your cookie.)

Games + Contests + Prizes!: On top of our usual games, this year we will have exciting contests with prizes for both kids and adults throughout the day. Try your hand at cornhole, egg & spoon, or potato sack race.

We are seeking volunteer support for setup, breakdown, and staffing the booths and contests. If you would like to participate, please speak to any board member or email us at <hello@carsoncommunity.org>.
