Fredericktown Christmas Walk, auction to support Food For The Hungry

The 22nd Annual Fredericktown Christmas Walk and Charity Auction will happen on Saturday, Dec. 3 from 3-7 p.m.

Donations and proceeds from the Fredericktown Christmas Walk and Auction will go toward the support of Food For The Hungry, Fredericktown Interchurch, Fredericktown Salvation Army and the Fredericktown Community Relief Fund.

The Country Christmas theme this year will be represented by a traditional winter scene and featured on its annual ornament. Ornaments may be purchased in advance by contacting Joely Leply at T.D. Landscape and on the day of the event at the craft/vendor exhibits inside the Presbyterian Church.

Sign up for the annual 5K run and walk at the link on the Fredericktown annual Christmas Walk and Auction Facebook page. The race will begin at the Gazebo at 2:30 p.m. and will end at the Gazebo for the official lighting of the Christmas tree.

Two auctions will take place this year – an in-person auction and a virtual auction. The in-person auction will be held in the newly renovated Council Chambers (formerly Senior Citizen Building). This will be a food auction. Donations can be dropped off from 12-3 p.m. Dec. 3 at the Council Chambers.

Due to the success of the virtual auction, it will be offered again this year from Dec. 3-10 at 11:59 p.m.

Ice sculptures, a gingerbread house contest and Santa Claus with a few of his favorite reindeer will be on hand with crafts and vendors inside the Fredericktown Presbyterian Church. It will be a great time to buy Christmas presents and to show support for local businesses. Also, plan on taking a wagon ride down to Sockman Park to view Christmas lights.
