O Delta Day set for June 6

Posted

The sixth annual O Delta Day is set for June 6, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Lower Bryant Pavilion in north Baldwin County.

The day’s activities will include intertube races, live entertainment, fish and chicken plates, a silent auction, dessert competition and more as funds are raised to benefit the Leah Ann Overstreet Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The fund, established in Overstreet’s memory, awards scholarships to members of the Baldwin County High School band. “Mrs. O” was principal of Delta Elementary School, a founding member and president of the North Baldwin Coalition for Excellence in Education.

The scholarship committed chose to honor band students because Overstreet’s son, A’Lanson Hoffman, was a member of the Baldwin County High School Band and the Million Dollar Band at the University of Alabama.

To date, the committee has awarded nearly $30,000 to area students in memory of Leah Ann Overstreet.

Catfish and chicken lunches, provided by Street’s Restaurant and Stagecoach Cafe, will be sold onsite and carry-outs will be available. Lunches will be available beginning at 11 a.m. and the cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children.

This year’s event will include the popular river raft races, and the return of the tube races and a “Rubber Duck” race. Each race entry fee is $5.

The tube races will be open to all ages, and participants will race in the river to determine winners. The tube races will begin at noon.

Patrons can sponsor a rubber duck and all ducks will be released into the water and the first duck to cross the finish line will win a cash prize for its sponsor. The ducks can be sponsored in advance or the day at the event up until race time. The “O What a Dessert” contest is open to all and winners will be selected in different categories. Desserts should arrive by 10:30 a.m. for judging and the winners will be announced that day. After judging, samples of the desserts will be available for purchase.
