A Special Message from One of Our Major Sponsors

AllCare Health is pleased to sponsor Rogue Winterfest and its annual fundraiser to help improve healthcare in Josephine County. This year’s festival supports funding for mental and behavioral health services and increased program offerings in Josephine County, an initiative AllCare Health fully embraces.

Especially during the holiday season, when emotions can run high as people remember those they’ve loved and lost, mental health programs are valuable to people who find themselves feeling fragile, depressed, or unable to cope with the realities of loss or loneliness. It’s crucial to have resources available for people seeking help. That’s why AllCare Health invests in mental and behavioral health programs in communities throughout Southern Oregon.

AllCare Health emphasizes the importance of a whole-person approach to healthcare, treating underlying conditions that may be affecting overall health and wellness. All Oregonians should have access to high-quality healthcare to improve mental and emotional health so they can get back to being themselves.

We’re committed to improving mental health services in Southern Oregon and to providing healthcare that works for our community. That’s why every year we choose to support Rogue Winterfest. We wish every Southern Oregonian a safe and happy holiday season.”

Weekend Holiday Events

The beauty, music, games, photo opportunities with Santa and Mrs. Claus—it’s all at Rogue Winterfest’s Weekend Holiday Events. Bring the whole family to Evergreen Federal Bank’s Bear Hotel on Saturday, December 3, and Sunday, December 4 to experience the magic together.

A special thank-you goes out to our Event Venue Sponsor Evergreen Federal Bank, which provides a spectacular setting for Rogue Winterfest. This particular event is cosponsored with the financial help of Seven Feathers Casino Resort.

Speaking of entertainment …

Every hour on the hour, the entertainment changes. Thank you to all our entertainers for your dedication to the Rogue Winterfest! We wish to express our gratitude to the following artists.

And then there is Santa and Mrs. Claus …

Take that special holiday photo your family will remember forever! Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive at 10:00 am and will be here throughout the weekend, minus a few minutes here and there when they have to go feed the reindeer.

And the games and art-making …

Fishing at the North Pole, majestic redwoods and canyons with waterfalls and wildlife critters, a Sea Cave, Face Painting, Home Depot building project, a chance to drop your holiday wishes in the North Pole mail bag … and more. This is fun for the whole family. Children’s events and activities are sponsored by Gene & Nancy Kettwig and Country House Inns.

And the trees and art …

On Thursday, December 1, 31 decorated trees, one-of-a-kind art, and a Mexico Vacation (donated by Club Northwest) will be auctioned and awarded to the highest bidder. All items are proudly displayed throughout the Festival. We cannot thank our incredible designers and artists enough. They dedicated countless hours to produce a spectacular display of beautiful artistry.

And let’s not forget the unsurpassed Evergreen Federal Bank’s SOUTHERN OREGON ADVENTURE!

Local artists and Bear Hotel staff have transformed the hotel into a Southern Oregon Winter Adventure with snowcapped towering redwoods trees, canyons with waterfalls, robust vineyards, a covered bridge, a sea cave, panoramic coastal views, and of course, Crater Lake. It’s a true Southern Oregon Adventure.

And, finally, the reason we present the Rogue Winterfest to our community …

The Festival is a collaborative fundraiser organized by three mental health agencies in Josephine County: Family Solutions, Kairos, and Options for Southern Oregon. We are not only raising funds to help these agencies, but we are also dedicated to presenting a wonderful community event. Thank you again for supporting our efforts so we can raise awareness about the need for these vital services in Josephine County. Our focus is on providing those with mental health issues the help they need to live a productive and happy life. With your contributions, we can make a difference.

Start the holiday season off at Rogue Winterfest. See you soon!

Happy Holidays from the staff and board members of Family Solutions, Kairos, and Options for Southern Oregon.
