Creston Auction and Country Fair

The 58th annual benefit for the Creston Volunteer Fire Department attracts thousands of treasure-seekers from the region.
Friday is Consignment Day and is the ONLY day that consigned or donated items will be accepted. Items can be consigned, meaning a substantial portion of the sale price goes back to the seller, or donated, meaning all proceeds go to Creston Fire. Items will be accepted from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the sale grounds in Creston. Saturday bid tickets will be available for early purchase.
Saturday, the grounds open at 7 a.m. and the general merchandise auction kicks off at 9 a.m. following Opening Ceremonies. Attendees can also purchase locally made art/handicrafts, rummage sale items, homemade baked goods, and food from local vendors.
The vehicle and equipment sale begins at 11 a.m. on Sunday.
There is no entrance fee and NO BUYER’S PREMIUM. Bid ticket revenue goes entirely toward paying for 24-hour weekend security.
Calls continue to increase, and Creston Fire has outgrown its 1960-era fire station on Highway 35. The building can barely accommodate modern fire apparatus and with the weekly training sessions for the volunteer firefighters and medical personnel, as well as the department’s fundraising efforts, it is very obvious that a larger station is needed. Steady progress has been made and Creston Fire and Friends of Creston Fire continue the on-going process of raising money for the construction of Replacement Station 251. All proceeds from this year’s Creston Auction will go directly into the building fund for that project.
