Mix It Up Bakery Customers make a BIG difference for Big Brothers Big Sisters

People always say, ‘every little bit makes a big difference’ and never was it more true!  Customers of Mix it Up Bakery, located at 64 N Main Street, spent the month of August filling the tip/donation jar for Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Fond du Lac County.  The end result?  A check for $685!

“I stopped into Mix It Up Bakery the Saturday of Fondue Fest to say hello,” said Tammy Young, Executive Director of BBBS.  “Little did I know there would be a check for $685 waiting for me.”  “As evidenced by their generosity, Mix It Up Bakery Customers are the best!” said Jeanne Page, co-owner of Mix It Up Bakery.  “I couldn’t agree more!” said Young.  “It goes to show that everything you do, no matter how small you might think it is, makes a BIG difference!”

Mix it Up Bakery is located at the corner of Main and Merrill, downtown Fond du Lac.  Scott and Jeanne Page opened the bakery in March of 2015 fulfilling a lifelong dream.  Mix it Up Bakery makes everything from scratch, doing bakery the way it was done 50 plus years ago.  The bakery offers doughnuts, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, cut-out cookies and a delicious brown-eyed Susan cake (just to name a few).  Mix it Up Bakery is open from 6:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Wednesday thru Saturday and from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Sunday.
