Your registration fee is tax deductible, and it includes continental breakfast, home cooked lunch, drinks and snacks all day, plus scrapbook/crop space, swap table, goody bags and door prizes.
This year’s crop will be held on Friday, April 20 from 6:30 – 11 p.m., and/or Saturday, April 21 from 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Join for up to 12 hours of wonderful, stress-free crop time. We will cook for you and offer plenty of fun ways for you to support youth and missions teams.
On Friday night, dinner will be ready when you arrive, and uninterrupted crop time. Dessert will be provided too and cropping will continue until 11 p.m. If you are staying for Saturday, leave your work set up and get right back to it on Saturday morning.
On Saturday, there will be ‘Make & Take’ stations (for a nominal fee), a silent auction (including retired Stampin’ Up!® products), and raffle baskets valued between $150 and $300. Bring something to share for the swap table, and take what will enhance your projects.
Sylvia Cuillo, from Photos Organized, will scan 100 photos (front and back) for a $7 donation to missions. Bring your photos and a thumb drive.
Local artisans have donated their time and supplies to provide Make & Take Projects for you. Pay a nominal fee for each, which goes completely to youth and missions. The cost is $25 for Friday night, $35 for Saturday, or $50 for both, or with electricity, $30 for Friday night, $40 for Saturday, or $55 for both. Late registrations, late payments and walk-ins are welcome if space allows. Last year, our Spring Crop filled 6 weeks before the event.
