Cookie Crumb AuctionWhat is a “Cookie Crumb” auction? Great question! This auction is similar to a silent auction, but more fun! Our auction will have items for kids, families, or adults.

Tickets for kids are $1 and tickets for adults are $5 (or 5 for $20). Tickets can be purchased at the registration desk or with the ticket sellers next to the auction tables.

In front of each item, there will be a jar where you can put your ticket. $1 tickets can be used for kid items only, items designated with a white ribbon. $5 tickets can be used for items designated with a pink ribbon.

We will also have a “Popcorn Auction” where small items idea for the kids (or kids at heart!) will be auctioned off each 15 minutes, so there are great odds for winning!

People’s Choice JudgingVote for your favorite chef using your smartphone!

Download a QR scanner on your smartphone, scan the QR code at the table of your favorite chef, enter your email address and you’re done! Votes are counted one per device, not one per email.

Judging will close at 3:30pm.
