Snowflake Basket Auction Nets $22,000
Thanks to a record turnout and items available to bid on, the 2018 Snowflake Basket Auction netted a whopping $22,000, which will benefit people with intellectual or developmental disabilities. This is the most money that has ever been raised in the event’s nine year history! New items such as a tub of liquor as well as the tried and true favorites like various themed baskets contributed to this success. Attendees enjoyed visiting with old friends and selecting baskets on which to bid. Thanks to the generosity of this year’s donors, there was truly something for everyone.
Special thanks to event sponsors: Walmart, Smokin’ Joes and Randy’s Smoke Shop.
