Looking for a fun autumn weekend plan with family and friends? Join us Saturday, November 7 from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM for the annual Filling Fall Fling.
The event takes place inside the Hanson Aquatic Therapy Center Gymnasium on Filling Homes' Main Campus at N160 OH-108 in Napoleon. Admission is completely free and everyone is welcome.
This is a treasure hunter's paradise featuring a wide variety of unique, community-donated items carefully curated into beautiful themed gift baskets and custom displays. Come ready to place your bids and find incredible deals on home decor, artwork, collectibles, everyday essentials, and odds and ends.
- Silent Auction Gift Baskets and Treasures: Browse and bid on a large selection of curated themed baskets and special items.
- Live Auction and Raffle: Join the excitement of our live auction or grab raffle tickets to win incredible local prizes. This year's top raffle items include a whole hog with processing for first place, a La-Z-Boy recliner from Ken’s Furniture for second place, and home furnishings from Sauder Manufacturing for third place.
- Homemade Bake Sale: Take home a wide variety of delicious seasonal treats and fresh, homemade pies.
- Traditional Lunch: Enjoy our signature free-will offering lunch featuring hot chicken, brats, and sides.
This wonderful community tradition is proudly presented by The Guild of Filling Homes and supported by our local corporate sponsors: Keller Logistics Group, KTP Medical Transport, and Custom Ag.
The Filling Fall Fling benefits Filling Homes, a faith-based organization dedicated to enriching the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities by helping them reach their greatest level of independence in a caring, respectful community.
All proceeds directly support our Transportation Fund, which provides safe, accessible transit for the individuals we serve. Come enjoy a traditional homemade lunch and silent auctions where your giving goes twice as far, thanks to a $10,000 donation from Ray and Marie Cox ($5,000 in memory of Carol Dille and $5,000 in honor of Ray Cox) and $7,000 match from The Lanzer Family (in honor of Vanessa Lanzer).

The first Saturday in November is always a fantastic day for Filling Homes…The Filling Fall Fling takes place in Filling Homes’ Hanson Aquatic Therapy Center.
Hundreds of people participate on this autumn day to share lunch and yummy baked treats while listening to great music by Norbert Rohrs and The Happy Times Polka Band. Participants get a chance to preview the many items to be auctioned off later in the afternoon in the live auction. In the time before the live auction, there is plenty to do from bidding on silent auction items to putting a ticket in various raffles for a chance to win a prize, to mingling and shopping with vendors that offer unique, one-of-a-kind art.
Every bit of support from those who attend is greatly appreciated! Because of your generous support, we are able to add the funds raised to our transportation fund. Transportation is an ongoing need and a pricey proposition that faces our mission, but what it means for those who use it to access their community and experience all sorts of new and exciting adventures, you can’t put a price on.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing our mission to provide this great gift for some very special people.
