GAMES, CONTESTS, AND ACTIVITIES - Join us for a weekend of fun!

• Games:  We will be playing games at various times throughout the event. All participation is optional.

We need to receive all silent auction donations by February 17, 2024.

Table décor needs to incorporate: Scrapping for a Cure, Cystic Fibrosis, and/or the "Toy Story" Theme. Keep in mind that our cropping tables are 6’ rectangles this year. You can enter as a group if you wish and decorate   all of your tables.

  • Costume Contest will be Friday evening, with judging held shortly after dinner. Costumes can be as simple or elaborate as you desire.

  • Thank You Cards can be made throughout the event (not beforehand), and judging will be held Saturday mid-day. Specific requirements for the cards will be given upon registration. The only requirement for the submitted cards is that they must fit inside a 5x7 envelope. Participants can submit up to two different cards for the contest. After judging, the Thank You cards can be donated to SFAC and will be used to mail out to our sponsors and donors thanking them for their help with our event.

  • What is in the Box - Wrap up a much desired crafting item into a beautiful present and bring it in so that we can hold an auction to earn money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. For participating and bidding, you will receive tickets for a special drawing!!
