The North Platte Community College volleyball team will begin accepting pre-orders for Sweet Saloon cinnamon rolls June 11.
The Sweet Saloon is a fundraiser for Knights Volleyball. It's hosted every year at the McDaid Activities Center in conjunction with NEBRASKAland Days, the official state celebration.
"Sweet Saloon is always an exciting time for our program," said Alexa McCall, NPCC Knights head volleyball coach. "The players get a glimpse of how well our community supports our program and all that goes into making this a successful fundraiser."
The "melt-in-your-mouth" cinnamon rolls have been a staple of the NEBRASKAland Days celebration for years. Athletes, coaches and volunteers spend days preparing and baking the delightful treats, with the proceeds going toward scholarships for NPCC volleyball student-athletes.
"We are always thankful for the volunteers that help, McDaid Elementary for the use of their kitchen, the pickup locations and Hiland Dairy for donating product,” McCall stated.
The actual event is June 17-19, but it's recommended that orders be called in or placed online ahead of time to ensure rolls are available. Pre-orders can be made at https://commerce.cashnet.com/MPCCNPWVS and (308) 535-3696 until noon the day before rolls are needed.
The cost is $30 per dozen and half dozen orders will also be accepted.
The cinnamon rolls can be picked up at McDaid Elementary, the Do-It Center, Westfield Pharmacy, Sports Shoppe and the Welcome Center on NPCC's South Campus.
A delivery option is also available with a $5 fee for those who order a minimum of two dozen rolls.
