Volunteers get a parking pass and admission ticket to the fair. Funds raised through the Cake Booth help to pay for countywide events such as Skate Night, Achievement Ceremony and Awards, Presentation Day, Field Days, Summer Camp, Conference Reimbursements and much more! Plus it gives money to Redwood 4-H to help cover our operating expenses.

Get ready for an experience like no other. We rented The Chabot Theater to have an interactive, silly, ridiculously fun time.
There will lines screamed, moments when everyone gets up and changes seats, signing along and more! More details and cheat sheet of actions will be provided. Along with instructions provided at begining of the movie for how to play along while watching the film.
Mon Oct 27th, 6:00-9:00pm - Golden Skate 2701 Hooper Dr. San Ramon
Cost: $9 admission each + $7 skate rental (or bring your own skates)
All 13 Alameda County 4-H Clubs come together at this annual event. This year they extended the event by 1 hour so there is more time for skating, making new friends and having fun! County is covering over half of the $19 admission fee, so everyone gets $10 off admission. In previous years the entire admission fee was covered with money raised at Cake Booth. Hopefully next year we can raise more money at Cake Booth to cover the full admission again.
Costume Contest starts at 7pm with lots of fun categories:
Scariest
Cutest
Best Group
Most Creative
Funniest
Best Homemade / Recycled
Best Book or Movie Character
