The 2018 Veterans Memorial Health Care Foundation’s Christmas Fantasy was held last weekend, November 9-12 at the Allamakee County Fairgrounds Pavilion in Waukon and was a huge success thanks to all of the overwhelming community involvement. A record number of auction items were donated to this year’s Fantasy by area businesses and individuals. The 114 auction items were displayed and auctioned on a silent auction bid to the highest bidder Monday night at 7 p.m.
Trees on display during this 27th annual Foundation Fantasy highlighted 51 full size Christmas trees decorated by individuals, businesses and many groups around the area. Five items were also donated to the Foundation for their use in a raffle. A free year membership to the Waukon Wellness Center was donated by the Wellness Center Board, a beef meat bundle was donated by Fareway, a framed print was donated by the Foundation Board and two raffle prizes of a half hog each were donated by Welsh Family Organic Farms with the processing donated by Jet’s Meats and Iowa Rotocast Plastics.
