OSCODA COUNTY – The annual Northern Michigan Relief Sale was held August 1-2 at the Oscoda County Fairgrounds. This is a fundraiser like no other with a wide selection of handmade products and baked goods, antiques, hot food, and books for sale. The most popular event is the handmade quilt auction. All proceeds from this event go to MCC (Mennonite Central Committee) to help relieve suffering around the world.
