PARENTS: You've heard the calls to action and now it's time for you to act! Please show up as early as 7:30am on Saturday to get our campus ready -- or stay late and help with clean up. We particularly need help with ticket sales and parking. Please sign-up for "Staff Harvest Faire" shifts here.
THE STORE IS OPEN THIS SATURDAY
