Many of you have been following the medical struggles of two River Falls local families. Erin and Jeff Powers, owners of Bo Jon’s Flowers and Gifts, have recently fallen on hard times due to serious health challenges. 11 year old Ray LeMay, owns and operates Rays Hen House sells farm fresh chicken and duck eggs at his farm stand. Our community is coming together to support them through a Silent Auction & Meat Raffle, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the Powers and LeMay families, split 50/50.
We are planning a Silent Auction and are in need of donations! If your business, family, or group would like to put together a gift basket or contribute another item, we would be incredibly grateful. To donate, please contact our event planner, Robin, at
