The Co-op held its 14th Annual Baking Contest and Silent Auction on Sunday, December 4th from 12 - 4pm to benefit the Potsdam Neighborhood Center! We had 26 entries that provided a feast for the eyes and pallet for the many visitors who attended.
The non-sweet Savory category was added this year, acquiring four entries that included savory cheesecakes, cranberry bites, and an artichoke dip.

Many thanks to the bakers who donated their wonderful creations! Because of their generosity we are able to continue this festive holiday tradition and community event. Thanks also to those who placed bids on the delicious treats and contributed to the collection jar. This collective effort makes the Baking Contest and Silent Auction such a successful event that enables the Co-op to generate needed funds for the Potsdam Neighborhood Center. This year we raised $841!
Also, thank you to the many volunteers who assisted in decorating, serving, and clean-up!
