Hot on the heels of this month's Summer Game Day, the Volunteers here at ConCoction are excited to announce the dates for the 2017 Winter Game Day! 

We'll be returning to the West Shore Unitarian's Baker Hall for our 4th annual Winter Game Day & Food Drive.
This will also be our second year hosting the chili cookoff event. 

Our first Drawing Prize announcement for this event is a Firefly Cargo Crate!
We'll keep you posted for more drawing prize announcements for this fundraising event.

We're also now taking donations toward this event's drawing prizes, as well as for the Charity Silent Auction for ConCoction's 2017 Convention.
If you or your business are interested in making a donation to either event, please send us an email to publicity@clevelandconcoction.org.
