||| FROM LORNA RHODES for OLGA DAZE! |||
Don’t miss Olga Daze! Festivities in Olga begin in front of the Community Center at 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 16.
Come for breakfast at the bake sale, featuring the world-famous maple bars, made on the spot. Stay for a delicious lunch and return to the bake sale for dessert.
Don’t miss the parade—it starts at noon and is not to be missed. Everyone is invited to join in, of course—silly hats included!
Live music will be performed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. by our own talented musicians. An Olga Daze tradition is the raffle of a beautiful handmade quilt. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase until 1:30, with the drawing at 1:45. Purchasers need not be present to win.
As always, expect a fantastic “Barn/Yard Sale,” open until 2:00. Drop-off days for your rummage (no clothes please) will be Thursday July 8 and Friday July 9, 2:00 to 6:00, at the Community Center. Contact Steve Emmes at 376-1461 if you need special arrangements.
The first Olga Daze festivities, over 20 years ago, included a parade, a bake sale and hot dogs. Today the event has blossomed into a full day of fun for everyone, made possible by the volunteer labor of many, many Olga residents. Olga Daze is the community’s only major fundraiser for the club and its landmark building.
