SUMMARY:Empty Bowls
DESCRIPTION:The Bay School and Hands Across Mathews will host our annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser on Sunday\, December 14 from 11:00 AM-1:30 PM. \nAn incredible assortment of handmade soups\, breads\, and cookies will be served during the event. For a $20 donation\, individuals will receive a hand-crafted bowl to be treasured or given as a gift and a simple lunch of soup\, bread\, and cookies. Community potters and members of the Clay by the Bay Ceramics Guild are creating the bowls from which to choose\, and volunteers are cooking crock pots of soup of many different varieties\, homemade breads\, and too many cookies to count! \nLast year\, The Empty Bowls Fundraiser raised $15\,557.15\, which was more than $4\,000 above the previous year’s effort. Come out and make this year’s event an even bigger success! \nAll proceeds will go directly to Hands Across Mathews. The mission of Hands Across Mathews is to help local families who have suffered some crisis that puts them in need of the basic amenities of food\, clothing\, shelter\, prescription medications\, or fuel. When all other avenues of support have been exhausted\, Hands Across Mathews helps them get back on their feet. The organization combines the efforts of 35 churches in the area to provide non-denominational charitable aid to families\, which have been evaluated and approved by the Mathews County Social Services Department. More than 100 families are currently being served each week. For more information about Hands Across Mathews\, please visit their website.

SUMMARY:Cupcake Wars!
DESCRIPTION:This friendly\, community competition will let bakers shine in two areas: flavor and artistry. Both professionals and amateurs are invited to participate and will be judged separately by our guest celebrity judge. \nEach baker will present two dozen of their fanciest and tastiest cupcakes. There is no theme to this first competition. One cupcake from each entrant will be used for judging and the rest will be made available for sale to the public. \nThe entry fee to compete is $10\, with these funds going to cash awards for the winners in four categories: best tasting and most artistic in amateur and professional. Register to participate at the ticket link. \nCupcakes will be available for sale from 10:00am until they’re gone – grab some for later to top off your chili at the Chili Cook-Off! Judging will take place around 1:30pm. Cupcakes will cost $5 each or $20 for a box of 4. \nRegister to participate here.

SUMMARY:Bling Hair at Cattails
DESCRIPTION:Bling Hair will be setup inside Cattails available to do walk-ins.\nBling Hair is hair tinsel tied to one strand of your hair and it falls out when you shed that hair.
