Forecast rain didn’t stop over 100 OBHS members from a afternoon of partying. The Wisteria Tea Party was held at the Titlow house in memory of Ned.
In the yard of a early 1900’s home, we celebrated under the largest Wisteria canopy in OB, where guests will enjoy tasty delectables while listening to live music by VIOLINIST ALICIA PREVIN and CELLIST MARK SANDER, SINGER ANTONIO JOHNSON, SINGER/ACCORDIONIST BILL CORWIN,  VIOLINIST GINA and husband KENNY JAMES ON mandolin. OBHS surprised Ron May with the OBHS 2012 Historian Award for his many years promoting history and preservation. The opportunity drawing was a great success with wonderful prizes donated by local businesses and friends of OBHS.
