Creston Auction and Country Fair

The 59th annual benefit for the Creston Volunteer Fire Department attracts thousands of treasure-seekers from the region.
The Creston Auction takes place over 3 days. On day 1, volunteers unload vehicles and fill the auction grounds to bursting with unlikely treasures. On day 2, up to five wagons carrying auctioneers roll down the lanes and thousands of attendees raise their bid cards. Bidders compete for vehicles, boats and equipment on the final day.
The funds raised by the Creston Auction, smaller fundraising events throughout the year, direct donations and in-kind pledges from local contractors and community members have brought Creston Fire and Friends of Creston Fire to almost a third of the goal for the Station 251 replacement fund. The fire department is just waiting on final state approval of the project and hopes to break ground this year.
