The Wood County Museum will host an in-person summer BBQ-themed fundraising event on July 7 at 6 p.m.
Tickets are $60 per person. Included in the ticket cost are a porch concert by Nikki D and the Sisters of Thunder, food by City Barbecue, beer, wine and nonalcoholic beverages. There is a side raffle for various prizes such as a YETI cooler filled with camping items, Blackstone grill, sit-on kayak, and a lottery tree.

The Wood County Museum hopes to raise $25,000 to continue its exceptional education programs, new exhibits and collections care.
An online silent auction that starts July 1 at noon will wrap up at 8 p.m. during the July 7 event. Those attending the live event will be able to see the auction items in person and bid via personal smartphones or at a computer station at the event.
