Here are some details for this year’s event:

The Creston Auction takes place over three days. All money raised for Creston Fire at this year’s Creston Auction will go into the fund for that project. Land for a new station along the highway has been purchased and Creston Fire is in the on-going process of raising money for the construction of Station 251. The building barely houses modern fire apparatus, weekly training sessions for the volunteer firefighters and emergency medical technicians, and the department’s fundraising efforts. The fire department’s crew of more than 30 volunteers rely heavily on this benefit to support them in responding to more than 440 calls this past year.Ĭalls have been steadily increasing, and Creston Fire has outgrown its 1960-era fire hall on Highway 35. The Creston Auction & Country Fair is the largest annual fundraiser for the Creston Fire Department and has been held in this small community 12 miles east of Kalispell on Hwy. Creston Auction: It’s a treasure hunt and community get-together. Thousands of people donate, consign, and buy, as hundreds of volunteers make it all come together – all in support of one small, all-volunteer fire department. A field is packed with the most unlikely treasures. The Creston Auction and Country Fair, April 1-3, is a sure sign spring has arrived in the Flathead Valley.
