Taste of Mower County 2020

Mark your calendars for a Virtual Online Auction

This virtual online event will take the place of our cancelled 10th Annual Taste of Mower County that was set to happen on August 23. Due to COVID-19 concerns, we decided an online event was the best way to still connect to our supporters and the community. The virtual online auction will begin on Monday August 17 at noon and close at 7:00 PM on Sunday, August 23, followed by a short program on Facebook Live. This auction is open to anyone. You must register to bid on auction items.
