Auction to benefit Oakfield Fire Dept.

OAKFIELD, Maine — Anyone looking for a bargain and also a chance to help out a local fire department should make plans to come to the Oakfield Fire Department’s ninth annual Public Auction and Luncheon Saturday, Sept. 25.
Spearheaded by Barb White, the auction/luncheon begins at noon — doors open at 11 a.m. — at the Oakfield Community Center.     Raising money for a good cause is something White has experienced tremendous success with over the years, some events bringing in as much as $10,000.

“I just like trying to help people,” she said.
With several hundred items up for auction, chances are there is something to suit every need.
