Colorado Wildfire Bake Sale

Welcome to the Colorado Wildfires Bake Sale!!  I appreciate all of you stopping by today.  All of the proceeds will go to Colorado Disaster Relief Fund c/0 Red Cross to help with fire victims.

Colorado has suffered from more than one very destructive fire so far this summer.  The High Park Fire that started on June 9th has destroyed 257 homes, and burned more than 87,000 acres.  It is now fully contained (that does not mean it has actually stopped burning).   On June 23rd, The Waldo Canyon Fire started.  It has destroyed approximately 350 homes, and burned over 18,000 acres.  The Waldo Canyon Fire is now 98 % contained.  Together these fires have cost over $50 million dollars to fight, and the work is not done.

The auction is now CLOSED!!!

This is how it will work:
– There is a minimum bid of $15 on each item to start, and all proceeding bids must be at least $5 higher.
– All bids must be emailed to dinnersdishesanddesserts@gmail.com with the item you are bidding on in the subject line (bids in the comment section will not be counted).
– The sale will go from July 8th at 8 am (EST) to July 9th at Noon (EST).
– Unless otherwise noted, baked goods will only be shipped within the U.S.
– Upon the closure of bidding time, I will notify the winning bidders in order to confirm instructions for payment, and also to retrieve their mailing address for their winnings.  Payment will be made via paypal.
– Winners will also be announced in a new post on Tuesday, July 10th.
– Winning goods will be sent within a week of the bake sale’s end, unless otherwise noted.
– There is a recap of the items up for sale at the end of the post.
– I will update the prices throughout the day.

Raffle Prizes:
– For every $5 that you spend (on a winning bid), you will earn 1 raffle ticket.
