'Wine Wheel' Joins Auction & Music For Daybreak Rotary's Winterfest, Feb. 24

The 22nd Annual Winterfest is set for Saturday, February 24 at Tan Tar A, with a theme of “Back to the Beach/Margaritaville.” Costumes are encouraged but not required.

Winterfest has become a signature yearly event attended by hundreds who love to "Party with a Purpose," as the rotary puts it. Daybreak Rotary gives to more than 40 lake area charities each year with funds from Winterfest and the annual car raffle, which is held each spring. Nearly $700,000 has been raised from these two special events, all for Lake area charities including Kids Harbor, CADV, Hope House, Lamb House, Medical Missions for Christ, Wonderland Camp, Lake Area Industries and others.

Winterfest is loved for the delicious food, stellar band (local favorite, the iBerry’s), and silent and live auctions. Auction items this year include trips, cruises, money bags, rounds of golf, and works of art. New in 2018 is the Wine Wheel, where a spin of the wheel guarantees a win of wine, gift certificates, or both.

Daybreak Rotary expressed their thanks to the following Diamond Sponsors for Winterfest 2018: Central Bank of Lake of the Ozarks, mPix, Redhead Lakeside Grill, Polylift and Shawnee Bluff Winery are on board. Platinum sponsors are B & B Heating and Cooling, Premier Dental, Above & Beyond Roofing and Alphagraphics. "Daybreak Rotarians are grateful for the continuing support of these generous businesses," the club said in an announcement about the event. Sponsorships at all levels are available with corresponding promotion and benefits.
