Theme Baskets for Oktoberfest The Theme Baskets were such a hit last year, we are starting early so there won’t be such a mad rush at the end to decorate them. Some of the baskets last year and/or ideas of possibilities include: children’s books, chocolate, High Tea at the Brown Palace, a football party, wine, going to college, books, movies, sports, car supplies, tea pot and tea, stuffed animals, kids makeup, spa day, winter warmth, dinner and a movie, and many more. You can donate all of the fixing’s or just a portion of a basket. We have had baskets donated by groups, such as the Choir, Women’s Book Club, MOPS, Rejoice Circle, Agape Circle, Crossroads Band, council and confirmation group just to name a few. Families and individuals also give many of the baskets. If you are interested in donating a basket, please sign the response sheet and bring in everything needed for the baskets, as soon as possible. If you are donating a basket and are able to decorate it as well we would really appreciate it. Just bring everything into Debby’s office.
