Oxford 300th anniversary activities
ongoing
OXFORD — Oxford’s 300th anniversary
kicks off July 8, 2012, but there is already a
lot of activity going on.
In the midst of trying to reach out to potential
local groups to serve as vendors for the
July 2012 through July 2013 celebrations, the
Tercentennial Committee is also trying to
raise awareness of the upcoming celebrations,
meetings, and events.
To help raise awareness of their activities
and offset the celebration costs, the committee
has a free drawing for some of the commemorative
items on their website,
www.oxford300.com.
In addition, if the Family Sponsor section
of the web site produces more than $500 in
new individual or family sponsors, there will
also be 4 Red Sox tickets drawn for the April
11 that may feature return of Johnny Damon
and Manny Ramirez to Fenway Park when
the Sox take on the Rays.
If you would like to sample the fruit of the
wine or have a taste for the ale, there is also a
Wine and Beer Tasting event at Periwinkle’s
in Auburn on April 14 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Tickets are just $20 per person in advance,
or $25 at the door. Advance purchase tickets
will be available at local businesses sporting
the Wine & Beer Tasting signs or by calling
Susan at 508-415-2335.
Maybe you have had it with the crazy
weather and can use a few laughs. The committee
is hosting a Just for Laughs Comedy
Show featuring the WiseCracks comics at
Halligan’s Sports Pub, 889 Southbridge Street
in Auburn. Comedy show tickets are just $
12.00 and can be purchased at the door, or in
advance by calling Mike Voas at 508-987-1581
or Alan Hammond at 508-987-2988. There will
be attendance prizes and silent auction for
sports memorabilia including a JD Drew
autographed photo valued at $100.
In addition, commemorative items from
the former Founders’ Day and 275th anniversary
celebrations, as well as the new 2013
commemorative Logo Wine Glasses, are
available at the Town Hall, 325 Main St., and
at the events mentioned.
The committee is always looking for new
ideas and welcomes your input. They meet on
the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30
p.m. in the Senior Center.
Visit them at their www.oxford300.com web
site, follow them on Facebook by friending
them at Oxford Three-Hundred or Oxfords
300 Anniversary. Their email address is
Oxford300@gmail.com and they look forward
to hearing from you.
The Oxford Tercentennial Committee congratulates,
and thanks the Webster Times, for
becoming the first Platinum sponsor in their
Annual Sponsor Program with their in-kind
services donations.
