Sunflower Fair September 20th in La Porte

Eta Eta chapter of PIX has an annual basket raffle on the Saturday of the Sunflower Fair. Each of the ladies gathers items that fit their theme basket. This year we have eleven baskets! Each year we get more and more creative. We were able to obtain our raffle license from the state and were able to keep the fair market value of our baskets under $1000.00. Now just pray for sunshine on the day of the sale. We are also lucky enough to have one of our local banks, La Porte Savings Bank that supports us two days prior to the Sunflower Fair by having our baskets displayed in the bank. These two days of sales last year were outstanding and made our profits very nice. Right after the Saturday sales we begin to collect items for next year. We know how to watch for the after holiday sales! If any other chapter has any questions - just post a note and I will be glad to get back to you.
