Rhubarb and More

   Rhubarb Fest June 2010

 Sheila & MaryAnne serve Rhubarb desserts

Best year ever!!  Unfortunately we ran out after an hour and left a few hungry buyers.  We have to make a LOT more next year.

Below:  Deston shares information with a videographer from the Rockford Register Star.  We were put on YouTube!!

We sell the best of our homemade rhubarb items including pies, cakes, breads, cookies and jam.  People waited in line for over an hour before our opening. 

This is an annual event and our main fund raiser for the year.

Thank you to all who support us by contributing baked goods and those who come to buy.
