Cake Auction Reminders

  • Save the date – Cake Auction is going to take place on Saturday, August 1st
  • For those new to 4-H, our Cake Auction is our primary fundraiser for the year that supports all of the programming and activities that we put on for the youth!  It takes place during the Bastrop Homecoming and it's super fun and very much appreciated - be sure to help invite businesses and friends to come purchase cakes from the auction!
  • Be sure to reach out to your club manager to let them know if you would like to help make a cake – we need 18 cakes total.
