Silent Night Exhibit & Auction
SILENT NIGHT EXHIBIT & AUCTION
A Christmas tradition returned to downtown Strathroy with the 6th annual Silent Night Exhibit and Auction. Beginning Monday, November 17, shoppers were encouraged to take a stroll downtown and view beautiful wreaths decorated by Strathroy businesses and community groups, and placed on display in the storefronts of our local merchants. Each wreath was available for silent auction until December 15, with all of the proceeds going to non-profit organizations in our community. This year, the event raised a total of over $1500.
Over the past five years the Museum’s Silent Night Exhibit & Auction has raised over $17,000 in support of local charities.
