The Oceana Center Grange invites the entire community to its 99th annual Penny Fair fundraiser event, Saturday, Oct. 12, starting at 7 p.m. in the historic grange hall located at 55 W. Scout Rd. in Hart. The evening will kick off with a short program and include a variety of acts followed by the traditional produce and baked goods auction upstairs, games for the kids, a sloppy joe lunch and pie for purchase downstairs. This year’s auction will once again be called by Ike McGhan. Enjoy the neighborhood competition as friends and neighbors try to outbid each other for fresh and locally-made baked goods, crafts, maple syrup, apple cider, and homegrown pumpkins, apples and other fall produce. Quilt raffle tickets will also be available for $1 each or $5 for six. This annual tradition hasn’t seen much change since the grange organized 119 years ago this coming January. Everyone is invited and welcome to attend, please contact Gordon Merten at 231-873-4459 with any questions.
