We also need your help with this!

We would like to give each of the little folk a handful of treats.  This is where you come in – if you are able to donate a bag of candy to the Carrot so they can be passed on, that would be very much appreciated.  We will be handing out the candy as soon as the doors open on Friday evening, so please have it at the Carrot before that time.
