60th Anniversary Holiday Auction
OBHS is having an online auction as our big Fall Fundraiser. Join us in celebrating our 60th Anniversary and do a little holiday shopping at the same time. All items will be delivered locally, most can be shipped. Enjoy browsing!
The Board has been gathering items from friends, neighbors, and local businesses to make this a fun and eclectic auction. You will find something for everyone!
We wanted to do something fun, yet practical, since times are tight for everyone. This is a great way to get some early holiday shopping done while supporting the society. This is our big fall fundraiser, so take a look! Items will be added right up until the start of the auction.
