Market Day 2025 Fundraiser is in the books!
BACH collected a lot of donations from members to sell at the famed Market Day. Although we still needed to offload a few things at the end that did not sell to the Still Creek Boys Ranch, the club made over $600 for the effort. Thanks to everyone who donated and also to Sarah Smith, BACH member who spearheaded this effort.
