(From Crowder College) Crowder College Foundation 23rd annual Festival of Wreaths takes place Tuesday, November 11th. The event begins at 5 pm with a silent auction in Longwell Museum located inside the Elsie Plaster Community Center on the Neosho campus. A live auction will begin at 6:30 pm in the auditorium. Last year’s event raised over $110,000 for scholarships & program support.
Now in its 23rd year, the event has grown into an electronically integrated silent auction of nearly 300 items as well as a live auction of 20 plus items. While holiday wreaths and décor will always be a mainstay of Festival of Wreaths, auction merchandise at the event includes everything from gift baskets and apparel to trips, electronics, and household items. Guests will see items that range in value from $20 to several thousand dollars and everything in between.
Changes that will continue to be implemented include in-person and online bidding on silent auction items as in past years. This year guests are asked to register for the event, even though it is still free to attend. Registration may be done at: onecau.se/fow25
Raffle tickets for a zero turn John Deere mower are available for $25 each or 5 for $100. Drawing will be held the night of the event. Tickets available at onecau.se/fow2025
Notable live auction items this year include authentic Persian rugs donated to the college through a family estate, a Realtree Go-Kart for kids, set of 4 tires, and a Doug Hall print – along with many more fantastic items.
Bidding on live auction items may be done via proxy bid. Proxy bid must be established by noon on Monday, Nov.10, by calling 417.455.5646 for more information.
