The Oakfield Betterment Committee would like to thank everyone who came out and supported Labor Daze this year. Despite it being one of our most challenging years, Labor Daze was the most successful and well received event we have hosted to date.

With that being said, this is not the announcement we hoped to make. Unfortunately, the Oakfield Betterment Committee has made the difficult decision to step away as the lead organization responsible for producing Winter Wonderland in Memorial Park.

For the past five years, OBC has worked hard to make Winter Wonderland a cherished Oakfield holiday tradition. Over the years, Winter Wonderland has required an investment of more than $65,000 and approximately 9,000 volunteer hours. Unfortunately, shortened & unrealistic timeline requirements by the village, coupled with surprise electrical expenses and lack of communication, among other issues surrounding the use of Memorial Park, have created obstacles that have become impossible for OBC to lead this event in the manner in which the community deserves. The Oakfield Betterment Committee informed the Village of Oakfield of our decision as well. We offered to work with another organization, should they find one, to take the lead.

Successful community events require cooperation, communication, and a shared commitment from all involved parties. When cooperation becomes increasingly difficult to achieve, or even impossible, even the best intentions and strongest volunteer efforts are not enough to sustain an event of this magnitude.

Thank you for your support, your understanding, and your belief in what OBC strives to do for our community.

🎉 WE DID IT!!! $5,005!!! 🎉

In just over a week, this community came together and helped us not only reach our $5,000 goal, but PASS IT!

We asked you to help us raise $5,000 for the Richter Family Foundation and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, and you responded with $5,005. ❤️📚

And because the Oakfield Betterment Committee is matching those donations with $5,000, together we have turned this into an incredible $10,005 for the Richter Family Foundation!

We are genuinely overwhelmed by the response.

Some people gave a few dollars, some gave much more. Others shared our posts, told their friends and helped spread the word. Every single one of you was part of making this happen.

This is what community looks like. ♥️

From all of us at OBC, THANK YOU. Thank you for believing in this program, for supporting the Richter Family Foundation, and for helping put books into the hands of children in our community.

$5,000 goal: CRUSHED. ❤️
