Fundraiser
- Raffle - Silent Auction
 

Fundraiser Attendees

Our 2009 fundraiser, held in May at Vernon Vineyards near Viroqua, raised over $6,000 for the art festival.

Thirteen varieties of tapas created by Chef Monique Hooker and the wines of Vernon Vineyards were highlights of the evening. The student volunteers from North Crawford High School were crowd favorites.

  Over thirty-five Driftless Area artists generously contributed a work of art for our silent auction. 

Our three KidsArt pieces were sold in a live auction and brought $555 to the school art programs of the winning students.
