It's that time 🕐🕐...when we start asking for the community's help!!!!

Please run to Geissler's Supermarket(Somers location) and purchase💵 a cake during checkout to be donated to our festival. Geislers will deliver all the donated cakes 🎂 🥮 to the fairgrounds the morning of the festival!

The cakes can be won at the very special Genevieve's Sweet Shot game, where players try to land a dime 🪙 completely inside colored circles on a giant wooden cupcake.🧁

All proceeds💰💰from Genevieve's Sweet Shot are donated directly to the Genevieve Neiman Scholarship Fund.

Genevieve Neiman, a Somers High School student, passed away in August, 2021 at the age of 15 from complications of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Genevieve's mother, wrote, "Genevieve’s Sweet Shot was a perfect way to honor my girl. She would have loved to play it and win one of those amazing cakes!" 💞💞

So please run to Geissler's and purchase a cake to be donated to this very meaningful cause.

Thank you for all your support and helping us make the Scarecrow Festival a success!
