There’s fun and good eats all for a good cause. “This is one of our biggest fundraisers for our performing arts department, so this brings in a lot of money that provides experiences for our students, things for our theater program, instruments, and all kinds of things,” says Jolene Workman, fundraising for Woodbridge High School. It’s the friendships, it’s the relationships, we see people year to year, people talk about how far they drove for their apple dumplings and we look forward to those stories every year,” says Julianna Mast fundraising for Grace Fellowship.

It’s an experience that has been a part of one local resident’s entire life. “This is something I’ve looked forward to every year. It’s been awesome seeing it grow, seeing it change 21.32.24 every year you look and see what’s different, what’s a little new,” says Mast.
