The “Hap-Hap-Happiest Christmas Vacation” Christmas Fantasy at the 34th Annual Event!
The 2025 Veterans Memorial Health Care Foundation’s Christmas Fantasy drew huge numbers at all the events, with all those attending enjoying the fun, upbeat “Christmas Vacation” Christmas Fantasy theme. The holiday Fantasy was held last weekend, November 14-17 at the Allamakee County Fairgrounds Pavilion, and was a huge success thanks to all of the overwhelming community involvement.
A huge number of auction items were donated to this year’s Fantasy by area businesses and individuals, numbering 126 in total, and all went to the highest bidder on Monday night at 6 p.m.
Trees on display during this 34th annual Foundation Fantasy highlighted 52 Christmas Trees and displays all decorated by individuals, businesses and many groups around the area. Many, many individuals worked, served, and donated to this community celebration.
