Spark Holiday Spirit & Give Back: Join the 2026 Wreath Auction & People’s Choice Contest! 🎄✨This holiday season, let’s combine creativity with community impact. We invite our local businesses, organizations, and makers to participate in the 2026 Wreath Auction & People’s Choice Contest under this year’s theme: "Bringing Joy to Our Community."
Every dollar raised directly fuels the Farmers Market Fund and expands the EBT/WIC Double Bucks Program, ensuring local families have greater access to fresh, wholesome food this winter.
Whether you craft a showstopper that is classic, whimsical, or branded to showcase your business, your participation brings festive cheer to downtown while championing food security across our town.
