A few lucky people are going to deck their halls more fabulously than ever, and that means a lot of kids are going to benefit. The Pub on the Drive’s eighth annual wreath auction was a fun, festive, and philanthropic party. Keeping with tradition, Elektra returned to host with a healthy balance of good fun and naughty sass.

Dozens of people created festive, themed wreaths. Highlights included Susan Czajka’s “Christmas in Paradise” while the team at Drynk Bar designed “Royal Blue Splendor”. Both raised $600 each. Marty Karp donated ten wreaths, including “Love Is Love” in the colors of the rainbow flag. Also making a splash were the four wreaths designed by Flockfest, which were adorned by lots of pink feathers and flamingos.

In all, $7,888 was raised (including a $1,000 donation from Tito’s Handmade Vodka), with all the proceeds going to Kids In Distress.

“There were so many creative wreaths this year,” Tim Barton, manager at The Pub, told OutClique. He says he’s blown away by the event’s latest chapter. “This was the best one we have had yet. We will definitely be doing this again next year!” In addition to setting a record for funds raised, a record number of wreaths, 39, were designed and donated.
