The Museum of the Mountain Man will host their annual Wreath & Chocolate Auction on Friday, December 3rd starting at 6:00PM in the Lovatt Room of the Pinedale Library. The event is a fundraiser for programs and projects for the upcoming year at the Museum. Admission is free.
Each year individuals, organizations and businesses create unique wreaths, swags and chocolate delights and donate them to the Museum for the annual Wreath & Chocolate Auction. This holiday event, held annually on the first Friday evening of December, is a great way to kick off the Christmas season festivities. The event includes a live auction for wreaths and a silent auction featuring chocolate and gift baskets. This year Dave Stephens will serve as the Auctioneer. Started in 1993, this annual event has become a highlight of the holiday season in Sublette County.
The social hour will be between 6:00-7:00PM with free food and drinks. Dinner is being catered by The Den. This is a chance to enjoy the dinner, drinks, socialize with friends, preview the selection of beautiful hand-crafted wreaths, register for the live auction, and place bids for chocolates and in the silent auction.
