BOWLING GREEN — The Wood County Museum, 13660 County Home Rd., is hosting Poor Farm Palooza, a summer Margaritaville-themed fund-raising event, at 6 p.m. July 19.

Tickets start at $60 for museum members and are $65 for non-members. The ticket includes all-you-can-eat food by City Barbeque, drinks (beer, wine, and non-alcoholic), desserts, and a porch concert by Cheeseburgers In Paradise, which is a Jimmy Buffet tribute band. There will also be a side raffle for prizes.

There is also an opportunity to participate in an online silent auction at 32auctions.com/pfpf24

The online auction opens at noon July 10 and runs through 8 p.m. July 19. Those attending the live event will be able to see the auction items in person and bid with a smartphone or a computer station at the event.

The museum’s goal is to raise $25,000 to continue education programs, new exhibits, and collections care.
