Winesburg Fall Gathering

September 20 @ 4:00 pm - 9:30 pm

The Winesburg Annual Fall Gathering & Benefit Auction is celebrating its 31st anniversary this year! This year is special, because the entire community will be celebrating the Quinquennial Winesburg Reunion. An expanded schedule includes our live auction, a new raffle with great prizes, food trucks, a 5k run, town history panels, softball and pickleball tournaments, live music, and more. This year’s event will take place September 19-21, 2025.

If you are interested in running the 5k, you can sign up here: https://runsignup.com/Race/OH/Dundee/GreatGrapeRace

Raffle ticket purchases and donations support our community members in need. All proceeds go directly to local families. If you know of someone you would like to nominate to receive support, please email Eli Wengerd at el*@*************ts.com.
