This year the sale will feature a large selection of potted plants, flowers, flats, and hanging baskets grown locally by Mark’s Farm Market and Greenhouses.

The MCAS Transportation Social Events Committee is made up of school bus drivers and monitors. The committee raises money so they can supply children riding their buses who are in need of gloves, hats, scarves, winter coats, and other items. Proceeds are also used to support the Transportation Department’s participation in local parades and Halloween events, where they hand out more than 2,000 pieces of candy and school supply items each year.
