DEAR SUN SPOTS: A few weeks ago you printed a letter about our craft fair to benefit Make a Wish that we are holding from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, at the Pepsi Facility, 191 Merrow Road, Auburn. Thanks to you we were able to fill the few remaining openings that we had for tables.

We have more than 30 raffle prizes donated by our vendors and are offering free T-shirts to the first 50 people through the door after 9 a.m. and of course free Pepsi fountain drinks while you shop.

All the money that we raise to benefit Make a Wish will be matched by our company. — Paula Valliere, paula.valliere@pepsico.com, 689-9652
