| Description of project |
Sold flavoured regular sized candy canes through our facebook page. 1 for $3 or 2 for $5. Allowed the purchasers to customize with a special holiday message than would label and had the Club and Kin Kids deliver locally to their door. Those purchasing were required to provide the recipients Name, Address for delivery, and optional message, all of which would be tied with a ribbon and card onto the Candy Cane. |
