The community is invited to the OCHS Thrift Store Customer Appreciation Day this Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Clerk Charity Compelleebee, Executive Director Brenda Brewer and Clerk Brittany Stienbarger, along with the other employees and board members are looking forward to seeing the patrons and share refreshments, discounts throughout the day, and prize drawings every hour. Discounted prices will be going on throughout the day, including on winter items. The store has lots of coats, boots and shoes. For those looking for Christmas decor, there is plenty to be found.
