Following, at 1:15 p.m., a live auction of student-created holiday treats, including decorated cakes, candy-filled chocolate boxes and cookie trays, will add funds to the donation. Scott Younkin, of Linden, will conduct the auction.
The public is invited to view the Food Show and participate in the auctions. The event will take place in the Mountain Laurel Room of the Thompson Professional Development Center on the main campus.
