Arts, Anti ues, and Autos 2019 SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2019 We were invited to volunteer at the Arts, Antiques, and Autos, but since most of the slots were filled, we were given a different idea by the show's committee! Our Key Club has boxes of Denton High School mugs that were bought years ago and we try to sell them every year as a fundraisers! We were given permission to go and sell them at our own table at the Arts, Autos, and Antiques show as a vender. The mugs are very nice and were sold for only $10 each! Thank you to the people who came to help.
