Crafters, holiday decorators, school groups, families, businesses and artists of all kinds are encouraged to participate in the 29th annual holiday fundraiser to benefit the Shelby Area District Library. Decorated themed wreaths and life-like trees, table displays, holiday creations of all kinds are sought for the silent auction and sale to be held Nov. 19–23, 2024 at the library. Local businesses are also encouraged to participate with a display or donate gift certificates for inclusion in holiday baskets.
“This is our largest and most popular fundraiser of the year, with proceeds benefiting the Shelby Library,” says president of the Friends group, Cindy McKinnon. “We have had contributors from as far as Grand Rapids and Muskegon to Oceana County who have donated their time, talent and skill to help make this silent auction a success. Each year unusual and beautiful creations light up the Shelby Library. For those seeking original decorating ideas or gifts, our silent auction and sale table will showcase holiday items you won’t find in stores.”
Entry forms can be picked up at the Shelby Library, 189 Maple St., or by contacting McKinnon at cindymckinnon35@gmail.com. Bidding begins Nov. 19 and concludes at noon on Saturday, Nov. 23. Displays can also be viewed on the Shelby Area District Library Facebook site that week.
