This event is by donation / pay-what-you-can.

All proceeds will be donated to the Old Labor Hall, National Historic Landmark / The Barre Historical Society. Like so much of Barre, Vermont, the flood waters breached the Old Labor Hall — 2-3 feet of water and lots of mud in the basement. Rise Up Bakery also sustained significant damage.

Donations can be made at anytime to the flood-relief efforts, following the link: https://oldlaborhall.org
