People’s Choice Awards
The People’s Choice Award – a friendly competition where participants show off their cooking skills – returns for 2023. During dinner Tuesday, August 29th, participants will dish out samples of their entries. Conference participants, after sampling - and probably coming back for seconds - will vote on the entry they enjoyed the most.

Silent Auction benefits the OGA Scholarship Fund
For more than twenty years, OGA has awarded $1,000 college scholarships to deserving high school seniors. This year will be no exception. To support these scholarships, the association will be conducting its annual Silent Auction in conjunction with the Annual Conference. The OGA Scholarship is open to all high school seniors who are dependents or grandchildren of OGA Member employees or retirees.

Donate to the Silent Auction
All members are asked to donate a gift basket or silent auction item valued at $100 or more. The more items donated to the auction, the more scholarships can be awarded.

The auction will take place Tuesday, August 29 after dinner. Donated items may be brought to the OGA offices prior to August 21st or brought to the Annual Conference Registration table by 12 noon, August 29h. OGA staff will then develop the auction sheet for each item in the auction. Members who plan to donate silent auction items or need more information should contact Jeff Kaufmann at [email protected].

Cornhole Tournament
Following dinner Tuesday, August 29, we will host our second annual cornhole tournament with entry fee proceeds going to the OGA Scholarship Fund. Invite a friend to be on your team at $25 per player ($50 per team).
