Olsen resides in Harbert, Mich. with his wife, opera singer Martha Cares. People are starting to contribute money to Ferris for the arts and students are learning to live in the presence of some of the best art Michigan has to offer. People have said that our idea for the Art Walk is not only successful but also ambitious. Bill Scheible will continue a longstanding tradition by serving as the auctioneer as well as the entertainment for the event. Items up for bid will include a thimble of dirt from Tiger Stadium, flowers every month for a year, jewelry, golf lessons, a weeklong stay in a condo on the Gulf of Mexico, and Winston Cup racing slicks.
Admission is free with hor d'oeuvres and a cash bar available.
A complete list of auction items is available by calling the United Way office at 592-4144. The annual event has developed into a fierce competition between local celebrities and other area leaders who create and donate the culinary confections. All proceeds from the event will go toward this year's Mecosta-Osceola United Way campaign. For more information, contact director Betty Seelye at 592-4144.
