The 2024 Rain Barrel Art Auction will be held during the Weston County Arts Council Chokecherry Festival.  The festival will be held in downtown Newcastle on Friday, August 16th, 2024, from 5-9 p.m.  The silent auction for the painted rain barrels will run from 6-7:30 p.m.  

The funds raised at the auction will go towards creating a StoryWalk® program for park and trails in Weston County.  Visit our StoryWalk® page for more information about the program.  Artists, art auction sponsors, and winning bidders will be recognized as sponsors on the StoryWalk® displays.
