PRINEVILLE, Ore. (KTVZ) -- More than 650 people turned out to support St. Charles Foundation’s annual Prineville Hospice Auction on Saturday, Dec. 7, which raised more than $180,000 to support hospice programs.

The popular annual event held at the Crook County Fairgrounds Indoor Arena included a festive live auction of handmade quilts and Christmas trees as well as dinner, raffle and more.
