Due to Spring Break, the order cut off date is March 7th.

Purdy's will deliver to us between March 17th and 20th.

Families can pick up starting March 30th. Easter is the following weekend so the pick up window will be SHORT.

If the order arrives early in the week of March 17th, all buyers will get an email to pick up early (before Spring Break).

Thank you for your support.
