Sauk County, Wis- A fun and delicious event will bring the community together for a great cause on Saturday, April 5^th from 11am to 2pm at the Reedsburg VFW.

This is a family friendly event, and everyone is welcome: community members, those in recovery, and their allies. There is a suggested donation of $5 with no one turned away. All proceeds to benefit WisHope.

Peter Brunzelle, Executive Director of WisHope, states, “Every dollar raised at this event helps provide resources, support, and hope to people in recovery.”
