HARPSWELL
The Orr’s Island Schoolhouse will hold a benefit auction, featuring local arts and crafts, on Saturday.
This marks the second year of the auction at the tworoom schoolhouse, now managed by the Orr’s and Bailey Islands Fire Department.
Last year’s event brought works from more than 24 artists, raising approximately $6,600 to fund the operation of the historic schoolhouse.
The auction at 1594 Harpswell Island Road, Route 24, on Orr’s Island will run from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., with doors opening at 4 p.m. for bidders to preview available items.
