The Applefest Quilt Auction is our biggest fundraiser each year. Quilters from several of our local churches donate beautiful quilts, which are auctioned off to raise money for LRCC Camperships.
If you would like to donate a quilt to this year’s auction, please send it to Yolijwa no later than September 30 with information on the quilter and any unique materials or techniques used.
There will also be a raffle for various prizes, including gifts from local stores in Oak Glen. If you have an interesting item, tickets to a show, or another alluring prize that you would like to donate to the raffle, please contact us. Also, if you wear your Yolijwa gear we’ll give you a free raffle ticket!
The Apple Dessert Contest is our newest fundraiser addition. We encourage all bakers, candy makers, and other food artisans to enter their homemade apple deserts in this contest. Bring enough for 100 people to have a sample-sized piece.
Everyone will vote on the desserts by putting money in “tip jars” ~ and whoever’s dessert earns the most tips will win a prize! Be sure to bring your dollar bills to cast your votes!
If you would like to bring a homemade apple dessert for the contest, please contact Yolijwa to be registered.
