I always jump at the chance to hang out with OMPeople, so when Julia Bloxsom Phelps invited me to come take photos at last year’s “Boots & Bling” Fundraiser for Old Mission Peninsula School (OMPS), I was all over that. It was a blast, and this year’s “Boots & Bling” on Nov. 9 promises to be just as much fun.
The Drew Hale Band will once again be playing (they’re fantastic), and dinner is included in the price of the ticket. A cash bar will be available for folks 21 and older, featuring Shorts Beer, local wine and the spectacular Old Mission Mule cocktail.

The event also includes a silent auction, with plenty of items donated by local residents (possibly including some of my OMP photos).
The doors open at 5:30 p.m., and line dancing with Wild Iris Productions (aka Sue Gresens – super fun) starts at 6 p.m.
The fundraiser will be held on Nov. 9, 2019, 5:30 – 10 p.m. at Bewitched Farm, 12655 Center Road on the Old Mission Peninsula (just north of the new Peninsula Community Library on the corner of Center Road and Island View Road).
Tickets are $35 in advance or $40 at the door, and may be purchased in the OMPS office or in the school lobby on Friday, 3 – 4 p.m. All proceeds go towards Old Mission Peninsula School.
The school is located at 2699 Island View Road, and the phone number is (231) 252-0225. You can also email Julia at julia@werthandphelps.com for more info.
