That’s right… it’s time for our annual Spunkmeyer Cookie Dough Sales! All proceeds used to fund scholarships for Carroll Students.

Chocolate Chip, Cranberry Oatmeal, Snickerdoodle, Mint Chocolate Chip, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, Butter Sugar, Triple Chocolate Chunk,  Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Butter… the list goes on!

Each tub of  contains approximately 36 pieces of frozen, perfectly-portioned chocolate chip cookie dough. The pieces of cookie dough are ready to bake — no need to thaw — and you can bake up just two, or a dozen. The rest will keep fresh in your freezer for up to a year. Because the dough is frozen, there is no need for added preservatives and chemicals, so the taste is better than home-made. The impossible perfection of texture and taste is the only thing that might give away the truth that while they were baked at home, you didn’t make a mess of your kitchen to produce them.

You can also order pre-baked, frozen Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake and Double Chocolate Chip Brownies (come in aluminum sheet pans with resealable lids). Just thaw and serve!

Don’t delay – Sales end October 12th!

Items are $17 each this year and will be delivered before Thanksgiving. Payment is due upon ordering.

Order forms are available here: 2015 Otis Spunkmeyer Order Form or at The Flower Shoppe.

Even if you do not quilt, there is so much talent to appreciate by those who have created these works of art. Quilts will be on display at various locations downtown, and this year’s featured artist, Jane Penn, will have her masterful collection of quilted creations on display at the Methodist Church.

Be sure to check out the “Harvest of Quilts” page on this website (under the Main Street heading). Have a quilt that has been handed down? The sidebar of that page lets you request an appraisal!
