ONRA’s own Ed Wagstaff surprised us with a jack-o-lantern adorned with the Ohio Historic National Road shield to set by the National Road milestone!

Thanks to generous donations from businesses and ONRA members across the state, our Silent Auction abounded with Ohio products and attractions, handicrafts, art, and more.

The One More Time String Band, including ONRA Board member Sylvia Miller on the guitar, entertained one and all!

Authors Glenn Harper (seated at left) and ONRA Vice President Doug Smith autographed copies of their newly released 4th edition of the popular A Traveler’s Guide to the Historic National Road in Ohio.

Selling chances to win a tree decorated with 50 lottery tickets was a fun addition to the event, and Todd Henning was obviously a very happy lottery tree winner!

Site manager Debbie Allender, staff members Kat Miller and Joanna Duncan (not pictured), and volunteers from the nearby John & Annie Glenn Historic Site went out of their way to help make this fund raiser a success. The National Road/Zane Grey Museum was a perfect venue and provided a beautiful and educational backdrop for our event.
