What’s the Buzz?

- Sponsor a Bee team…or Two. Make a fundraising donation to one of our bee-dazzling teams! (The team that raised the most wins a prize!)
- Take a Chance on our Two Raffle Baskets. A Honey of a Basket (with homemade quilt) and Local Bizz Buzz (with gift certificates from local businesses). $5 per ticket or 3 for $10.
- Go Bananas for Bananagrams. Participate in our first-ever Bananagrams tournament. Open to all ages. $10 entry fee.
