Pick Your Trophies, Not Your Nose!

Please schedule an appointment to pick your trophies on Saturdays (9:15 am) using Ba€oins:
Most children save their Ba€oins for giant trophies, but if you don’t have “most children,” moving out of Bay Area, or want to redeem Ba€ for smaller trophies, use https://forms.gle/yRZUMpo7eeiJULm9A to schedule an appointment.
