Storytelling will weave a tale to transport you to new places. And did you know, there will be DANCING! Not only will you be entertained by one of our youngest members, but also the FUSF Dance Team will make their first public appearance.
This fundraiser will also feature a bake sale of delicious treats and beverages and a raffle of some fun stuff.
