Annual Plant and Bake Sale
Our plant sale became an annual fund event, and is our primary fund raiser. It has grown over the years; after our first sale we added baked items too, making it a “plant and bake” sale.
In the beginning, we held it on the courthouse square in Yellville, which worked very well for quite some time because we had good contact with the people who had businesses or were working there, and also all the people who had shopping errands in the area. This gave us the opportunity to connect with the community and become known and people began to look forward to the sale.
Several years ago a new City Park with a very nice pavilion was put in, so we moved the sale to the Park, allowing us to display our items better and to offer a greater variety of products. By the time we made the move to the Park, our reputation for the variety of plants and goodies was well known, and the community looks forward anxiously to our annual sale each year.
