It will be a Country Christmas this year to celebrate the 21st Annual Christmas Walk and Charity Auction on Saturday, December 4th from 3:00 – 7:00 pm. Our commitment to raise funds to help support Fredericktown Interchurch, Fredericktown Salvation Army and the Fredericktown Community Relief Fund has never changed, plus it is a fun family oriented community event! We ask you to come out and support this event by your presence and donations as you are able.
The County Christmas theme this year will be represented by a traditional winter scene and featured on our annual ornament. Ornaments may be purchased in advance by contacting Joely Lepley at TD Landscape or the day of the event at the craft/vendor exhibits at the Presbyterian Church.

– The Facebook auction will be held from December 5th until December 11th. You will have a full week to bid on your favorite item that has been donated by local businesses or the community. Your quality donations are needed to make this a success. .
