PINE HILL — The second annual wreath auction at the Pine Hill Community Center, which had 25 wreaths last year, drew more participants with 37 wreaths created by local artists. This fundraiser helps keep the lights and heat on in this vital venue which invites the farmer’s markets indoors throughout the winter months. 

‘Wacky Wendy’ Brackman MC’ed an enthusiastic and entertaining auction of beautiful and creative wreaths. Several of the items went for over one hundred dollars from many of the most gifted artists donating to this worthy cause. 

The auction brought in $2,000 with two thirds of the wreaths sold, all with additional money raised from the chili festival.
