Over 100 desserts will be featured in this year’s Sweets for Success dessert auction, half in the live auction and half online in the silent auction.
All dessert items have been donated by volunteer bakers and will include a wide variety of sweets from classic cookies to extravagant cakes, homemade pies to fresh pastries, and everything in between!
All money raised is used to support the operational budget of Main Street West Branch, a local 501c3 non-profit and volunteer-run organization.
Our vision is that West Branch will thrive with an eclectic mix of old and new as a desirable visitor’s destination and a place of hometown pride that shows in the vibrant downtown & unique offerings.
Our mission is to improve the social and economic well being of our community and historic downtown by preserving and sharing our history and unique identity; attracting and supporting small businesses; and engaging and connecting the community.
