Fish Fry

Oakalla Librarian, Tricia Pratt, is pleased to report that the Fish Fry at the Oakalla Community Center on Saturday was a great success. Not only were the fish and other goodies delicious, but there were other pleasant activities as well. There was a book sale and a special video presentation of library history of the past 14 years. The Fish Fry proceeds will go to the Oakalla Library. And a special thank you goes to John Smith, Skeeter Smith and their families for all the work that made the benefit possible. Additionally, thanks go out to the community for their support of this event.
