THIS IS A DRAFT 2021 CALENDAR
Please check back as the time gets nearer to find out more. There will be additional postings and likely some changes. This is not the final schedule.
Memorabilia will be on sale throughout the 4 days. You will be able to order it through this website on the Memorabilia Tab starting probably in early June.
We have some "Limited Edition/Collectable" 2020 t-shirts and totes available. The sale of these items will help us replenish our bank account and also be a one-of-a-kind collectable! A new order form will be put up soon. We had some trouble with the logo on the glasses. We will be selling the glasses by donation only.
Silent Auction of very special items made by our local artists will run in the weeks preceding OHW and will end Saturday night, Aug. 7th. Details to follow.
The Trail Committee will set up a self-guided walk probably leaving from the Old School and/or the Crafts Inn going over the Reardon Bridge and return. Details to follow.
OHW is during the second half of the Blueberry Festival. We will post a link to those activities once it’s available.
