Apple Bake

This year's apple bake started out with an amazing theme of, "Peace Love and Apple Bake!"

Lisa and I began the day by venturing out to Costco and Target. We purchased this fun Balloon Time Helium Tank for $20 at Target, and were able to blow up about 50 balloons for our event! It was a much better deal than the $1.50/balloon Shaw's wanted to charge us, and it was easy and fun.

We tied the balloons to our amazing prize mugs, and used them as centerpieces for all of our tables.

Before we knew it, the students were bringing in all sorts of yummy apple dishes!

The MIT press even came to our event, and took some amazing pictures. The pictures below are some they may be featuring in an article about us! When I get the link, I will definitely be sharing :) Many thanks to Stephanie Keeler!

Below is my favorite entry, which was entered into the Apple Art category, and was called "Hook'em Apple!!!"

At the end of the event, we gave away over $500 in prizes to 26 students!

And in the end, our balloons looked great on the prize table! This year was by far the best Apple Bake ever!
