Young Women\u27s Bake Sale

“For the past three years, my family has attended the Axtell First Ward Annual Pioneer Day Celebration at Anthony’s Flatt. The entire community goes up to Anthony’s Flatt, some camp with their families and others just take four-wheelers up for the day. There is always a big pot-luck, planned by Bishop Otten and his wife, as well as the Relief Society Presidency. We have potato salad, macaroni salad, rolls, baked beans, potato chips, and sloppy joes. After the dinner that takes place at 5 PM, the Young Women’s Bake Sale commences. Each year, the young women do the bake sale as their fundraiser for money to pay for their activities throughout the coming year. The community loves to help out, so this is a great way to raise funds. Anyways, there is always a bidding war between Lonnie and Bishop. They just keep bidding one after the other trying to jack up the price for the other one before they back up, all the while giving money to a good cause. One year, the price for a loaf of the Bishop’s wife’s bread [it really is good bread because she is an incredible baker] went over $200! Needless to say, the bake sale is always a success.
