Who are the Sacramento Barons?

The first Sacramento Barons boys basketball team was formed in 1970 by Newell Noda. With the addition of more teams, the Barons Athletic Organization was eventually formed. The Barons organization now has teams from 8th grade to 12th grade (boys and girls) and several adult league teams. This craft fair event will assist the 2025 Lady Barons basketball team with their expenses for tournaments, coaches, hotels, practice gyms and uniform costs.

What is Fukubukuro?

Fukubukuro are essentially surprise bags that vendors make which are filled with unknown random contents and are sold to the customer for a substantial discount, usually 50% or more off the list price of the items contained within. The low prices are usually done to attract customers to shop during the new year. The term is formed from Japanese fuku (福, meaning "good fortune" or "luck") and fukuro (袋, meaning "bag"). The change of fukuro to bukuro is the phenomenon known as rendaku. The fuku comes from the Japanese saying that "there is fortune in leftovers" (残り物には福がある).
