2nd Annual Christmas Galleria

The Christmas Galleria is a major fundraising event benefiting the Russell Play Park project. The Galleria is an online auction featuring themed Christmas trees, wreaths, tabletop, and other Christmas décor.

This year nearly 100 items will be up for bid, which is double the number in last year's auction. Each item has been made by very talented volunteers at The Arc of Central Plains in Hays.

Bidding goes live on Thursday, November 16 at 10 AM and closes at 5 PM on November 20. A link to the auction will be on the home page of the Russell Play Park website at www.russellplaypark.com. The items can be viewed during normal business hours at the Deines Cultural Center in downtown Russell.

This year's Grinch themed sip and see reception is on Friday, November 17 from 5 to 7 PM at the Deines Cultural Center. Hosting the event will be the Grinch himself. Refreshments will include an assortment of the Whose favorite treats including Who Hash, Grinch tortilla pinwheels, Whobilation Dip, and other delicious treats.
