Oak Hills Holiday Bazaar
The Oak Hills Holiday Bazaar will take place from 10 am-5 pm, Friday, November 30 and Saturday, December 1.

Vendors who wish to sell wares should contact event organizer Ruth McArthur at 503-645-3022 or ruthmcarthur@frontier.com for information and an application form—hurry because there are just a few tables left.
