Happy Father’s Day!
Today we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, and mentors.

The Craft Basket honors the hands that shape, fix, and make — reminding us that creativity is a legacy passed from one generation to the next.

🎉 Craft Basket Bake Sale Success!
A huge thank‑you to everyone who stopped by and purchased baked goods today. We’re excited to share that we sold out and raised $202!

These funds will go directly toward updating our Craft Basket highway signs, and your support makes that possible.

We appreciate this community so much — thank you for showing up and helping us keep our projects moving forward. 🌼
