Volunteers will be selling raffle tickets for a chance to win one of three handmade quilts and a set of adorable crocheted Oz characters created to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the world premiere of The Wizard of Oz. All items were handmade by local crafters! Proceeds go to the Friends of the Oconomowoc Public Library. This raffle is completely run by volunteers and tickets cannot be sold by Library staff. Friends of OPL plan to sell tickets on Saturday mornings during the Farmers Market and Wednesday evenings before the Legion concerts from now until the drawing on August 14.
