The Friends of Oakley is hosting its second annual summer fundraiser on Saturday, June 26 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at O’Hara Park. This year’s event features a car show, a bounce house, police dog demonstrations, a meet-and-greet with local law enforcement, a raffle, games and activities for the whole family, and a barbecue lunch showcasing Chili de Frazier made by Oakley Vice Mayor Jim Frazier.

All proceeds are tax deductible and go toward building an auxiliary vehicle coverage structure to protect the Oakley Police Department’s motorcycle unit, and toward the creation of an animal detention area at the police station to safely hold animals until county animal control comes to collect them.

The car show runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; the registration fee is $15. Awards and trophies will be handed out at 2:30.

Lunch will be served from noon to 1 p.m. The menu offers chicken, corn, chili and dessert. Tickets are $15 each or $25 for a couple. Kids’ meals are $8 each or $15 for two. Water and soft drinks will be available for $1, and beer will be sold for $4.

Tickets are available at Mike’s Beef ’N Brew, 2083 Main St.; Oak Tree Embroidery, 2049 Main St.; Black Bear Diner, 3201 Main St.; and Kit and Caboodle Hobby Shop, 3675 Main St.

Games with prizes will be held from 1 to 2 p.m.

Last year the Friends of Oakley raised approximately $4,600, which the organization used to buy gift cards for teachers of the Oakley School District to purchase instructional supplies.
