On Saturday, Feb. 17th, 2024 hundreds of community members will gather at Sarasota Christian School’s beautiful 25-acre campus for a day of fun and fundraising - marking the 65th time they have done exactly that. This year the family-friendly event will feature a Pie Baking Contest (sponsored by Everence) which will be judged (and tasted) live and will name champions in three categories: fruit, cream and single crust. This contest was a staple event in the Pinecraft community for years and now will take center stage at SCS at 12:30pm in the gymnasium. Both the silent and live auctions will be action-packed. The day's highlights will include live auction items such as Tampa Bay Lightning Dex Suite Tickets, a night Fly Fishing Trip for two, a BOTE inflatable dock, chairs and cooler, a 3-night cabin stay in Cherokee, N.C., gorgeous handmade quilts and more.Not all of the action will be inside though. The SCS Festival & Auction will include a FREE Kid Zone (sponsored by Custom Air and Tropical Thrills) featuring inflatables, human foosball, ax -throwing, caricature drawings and more. Food Vendors will include Gator Wilderness Camp BBQ, Chick-fil-A, The Big Blue Grilled Cheese Company and Siesta Pops.
