LaFayette Park OBAA & Farmers Mkt. Exhibits
OBAA CELEBRATED ON THE PARK
Several community groups set up in LaFayette Park on Saturday to participate in the Oxford Blackhawk Alumni Association (OBAA)’s 3rd annual Alumni Weekend. The diverse Farmers’ Market made for some pretty interesting shopping as well.
The Oxford Historical Society attracted a crowd of alumni perusing the old yearbooks. OHS President, Fred Lanfear set up a large tent with several tables full of yearbooks, pictures for identification, pennants and even a few pictures that survived the recent flood.
The United Church of Oxford had pieces of pie for sale. They had pecan, strawberry-peach, chocolate-nut, cream puffs and more.
Set up for the weekly Saturday Farmers’ Market were: Kim Marshman of The Barnyard, with fresh vegetables (like her sweet corn) and eye-catching flowers; there were big, fresh blueberries picked that morning; Bill Brower of Shadeyside Farm with both brown and green eggs from free-range laying hens and Nancy Morey’s handspun and dyed yarns; Ken Hawken with Elva’s Secret Gardens perennials, with an assortment of exceptional daylily varieties; and St. Paul’s Bake Sale with their cookies, cakes and jams.
