The Winery at Versailles supports BBBS

The Versailles Winery located on State Route 47 in Versailles hosted their annual fund-raising for charity event called the Adult Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, July 18th from 6:00-9:00 pm with proceeds from the tickets sales and live auction items benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County and non-perishable canned food donations to Grace Resurrection food pantries. The event was originally supposed to be scheduled for April 18th but was rescheduled because of COVID19.      

The Versailles Winery has been a “Big” supporter of Big Brothers Big Sisters in the past by donating gift items for their fundraiser events. “We are very excited and honored that they chose the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County as the charity for this event. The event was well organized and loads of fun” reports Big Brothers Big Sisters Executive Director, Jennifer Bruns. There were many wonderful business that gave generously for the event that include: Rebsco, Young Living Essential Oils- Connie Sowry, Herron’s Herb Shop, GNB Banking Centers, IT WORKS- Amanda Enicks, The Merchant House, Wassons Nursery, Keller’s Grain & Feed, Merle Norman, Asti Lane Designs, Drab 2 Fab, Winner’s Meats, Ted’s Tasty Treats, Thirty-One Jessica Kremer, Twisted Pony Creations, Westique Boutique, Darke County Fair Board, McBo’s Lanes, Performance Mortgage, Betty McKenna, Candified Glassworks, and The Winery at Versailles. Winners of the Auction where Tom Martin & Terri Flood who donated it back to Big Brothers Big Sisters. The bottle was signed by the Bigs and Littles that were present and Mike Williams the owner of The Winery.

Locally, the two-county agency served 292 children in Shelby and Darke County through its community-based and High School mentoring programs in 2019. At this time the agency has 13 children on a waiting list in need of a volunteer mentor. The wonderful donation from this fund-raising event will not only bring dollars to the local agency, but awareness of the need for volunteers as well as the services the programs offer “at risk” youth in our community.
