Want to be a Santa Sponsor?
July 12, 2019: The OBA is already planning for the Annual Festival of Lights and seeking businesses who'd like to have Santa visit during the upcoming holidays and allow parents and grandparents to bring children to see the jolly elf. You'd supply a backdrop or vignette that has a comfy chair and Christmas decor, and some candy canes for the kiddos (or whatever refreshments you'd like to serve). Everyone would be free to take photos with their smart phones or personal cameras. Please call 205-446-0462 or simply email us. Santa Sponsors will receive a lot of publicity in our Festival of Lights marketing!
Welcome New Members!
We welcome two new members to the OBA.
