County 76 Fundraising Project
2025 SPIRIT POLE and SOLAR PORCH LIGHT PROJECTS
County 76 invites you to participate in two projects for the 2025 Fundraising Project — a Spirit Pole and a Solar Porch Light project. This is your chance to represent your county in a fun, personal, and collaborative way! These unique poles and lights will be displayed at the 2025 Master Gardener State Conference for all to enjoy. The purpose of the project is to inspire gardening art through creativity, goodwill, and involvement of your county. Your county may do one or both of these projects – or even two of each! The projects will be auctioned at the County 76 Silent Auction.
What is a Spirit Pole?
Spirit poles are pieces of unique garden art that can be displayed in your yard, garden, home or in your community. A Spirit Pole is a handcrafted garden monument that reflects your personal style and community spirit. It should reflect your county and its unique beauty. Use a general garden or nature theme or design to reflect our Arkansas splendor.
What is a Solar Porch Light?
A Solar Porch Light is a handcrafted porch or garden light that reflects your personal
style and message of community spirit. It should reflect your county or various holidays
or seasons during the year. It has one to three replaceable solar lights integrated
into the art.
