A western rockin’ good time was had by all at the Boots & Bling Fundraiser for the Old Mission Peninsula School (OMPS) PTO at Bewitched Farm on the Old Mission Peninsula on Saturday, Nov. 10, 2018.
Julia Phelps, President of the OMPS PTO, and her crew did a great job pulling everything together, and upwards of 200 people attended the fundraiser, which also included a silent auction with lots of great items from the Old Mission Peninsula and Grand Traverse region.

A cash bar was available with the gals from Tonic & Lime serving, and attendees also enjoyed a buffet of pulled pork sliders, baked chicken, macaroni salad, coleslaw, baked beans, potato salad and a yummy selection of cookies and treats.
After a bit of line dance training by Wild Iris Productions‘ Sue Gresens, The Drew Hale Band took to the stage and country-rocked the crowd with their fun tunes. Check out their albums here.
Terry Hooper of Hooper’s Farm Gardens helped with table decorations and a silent auction donation, and Rhinestone Genie was also on hand to help deck everyone out with their creative rhinestone kits – check them out here.
A tent off the back of the barn was supplied by G.J.’s Rentals, and Dave Crater of Dave Crater Music helped out with the soundboard for the band.
If you couldn’t make the Boots & Bling Fundraiser (hopefully, there will be one next year!), you’re welcome to donate to OMPS PTO by contacting the school at (231) 252-0225.
