There is no price limit on the on the baskets. Its what you can afford, be creative. If your state is being represented already, Its okay to have more then 1 from each state. People have different perspectives on where they live in each state. Or possible your a Craftier, Baker, Memory Maker, or a Woodsmen. Show off your talents. It doesn't have to be state related it just needs to be fun. Who knows you might be able to pick up a Holiday gift or too. if you say well I can't bring a basket..You don't have to make a basket to participate, you could buy a raffle ticket and contribute that way.All the money will go to a good cause. Pay it forward. Please spread the word.
We are up to 5 Will you be 6 ? We have Kansas, Washington, Oregon, Ohio and Florida so far.If your state is already being represented. Feel free to represent still . We all have different perspectives of where we live. Or you could do one on based on your likes/child's likes etc. Just have fun with it. Pay it forward its for a good cause. Please help spread the word. Wouldn't want anyone to miss out on the fun.
