Spring Fling Raises Money to Support the Battlefield


20240606_192849

Supporters of Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield are nothing if not competitive. Silent auction items at Spring Fling inspired some lively but friendly bidding. As Casey and the Atta Boys played their last song and the silent auction winners collected their prizes, Spring Fling concluded as another successful event for the foundation. We raised $15,515.00, which will help us continue to support educational programs, park events, and preservation efforts at Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield.

We want to thank the Sustaining Sponsors for their support:
