Signature Event

2024 ANNUAL GALA

In 2023, the Council Grove Area Trade & Tourism Association hosted our First Annual Gala Celebration. We designed this annual event to be inclusive, engaging, creative, and, most of all, fun! As well we raise money for the causes our community cares about and award our area's Best of Council Grove awards.

 

In 2023 we raised money for our Council Grove Trail Trolley, and in 2024, we are raising money to continue the much needed improvements of our Neosho Riverwalk Amphitheater.
