Election Day Bake Sale – April 23
Election Day is right around the corner, April 23. And so is the next Election Day Bake Sale at Hellertown Historical Society (HHS). HHS has been chosen as the third ward polling place for the third time with voting taking place inside the historic Heller-Wagner Grist Mill at 150-170 West Walnut Street in Hellertown. The bake sale is held next door to the Grist Mill at the Millers House, on the large porch or inside in case of inclement weather. We will be offering homemade baked goods from 9AM-6PM or until inventory is exhausted. This year’s election turnout is expected to be high, so come early for your best selections. Please review the site map posted for the correct location where to vote, where to park and for the bake sale. NO VOTING IS HELD AT THE MILLERS HOUSE – ALL VOTING IS INSIDE THE GRIST MILL!
Please Donate Baked Goods!
In conjunction with our election Day Bake Sale April 23, we are looking for bakers across the land to donate homemade baked goods to provide a variety of sweet treats for sale to the public. Please securely wrap donated items and label them clearly. Include ingredients on the label that may pose an allergic reaction, such as containing nuts or other such products. Gluten-free products are also welcome and should be labeled as such. Baked goods may be dropped at the Millers House, 150 West Walnut Street, Hellertown anytime between 5PM-8PM on Monday, April 22. Items may be dropped at the same spot where the sale will occur. Please see posted map. Please help us gather a huge inventory of sweet treats to offer!! We thank you in advance for your generosity.
