Welcome to the
2009 Rogue Winterfest
The Rogue Winterfest, formerly the Grants Pass Festival of Trees, is an annual fundraiser for some of the most effective nonprofit agencies in Josephine County. Proceeds from the Festival will directly benefit mental health services for children and adults at these agencies. The festival includes several events and fundraising efforts, closing with the Gala Event with the exciting holiday auction of the decorated trees and under tree gifts.
The Festival will be held at Evergreen Federal Bank's Bear Hotel, which will undergo a spectacular transformation to a winter wonderland showcasing exquisitely decorated trees and fireplace mantles. Design, creativity, and hard work will come together to truly amaze you.

The Rogue Winterfest boasts four spectacular events for your entertainment:
- Public Preview Weekend
- Silent Auction
- Culinary Christmas Classic
- Gala Event and Holiday Auction

Even those unable to attend the events can make a difference by contributing to the fundraising efforts:
- Donating a cash gift to the general fund
- Donating "Under Tree" Gifts
- Donating items to be sold at the silent auction
- Sponsoring a tree and/or the cost of the design

Another way to support the Rogue Winterfest is to Volunteer! Volunteers are needed for:

Over 5000 children, adults, and families have mental health needs in Josephine County. The Festival is designed to bring the community and our healthcare agencies together, increasing awareness of mental illness and available services in the community.
