Delivery is scheduled for FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1. If you have a larger order, please pick it up BEFORE WE LEAVE for the football game. For smaller orders, you can take it home with you after the game. The cookie dough comes frozen and is packed in such a way that it will keep for several days without refrigeration. (It will NOT, however, keep for the whole week of Fall Break, so you absolutely MUST pick up on Friday!)

Band hoodies and jackets are also allowed. If you don't have a band hoodie/jacket, whatever you wear must be red, black, or grey.
