Come join us for a live auction with unique items including some pieces of Cleveland County history. As many of you know, we were blessed with a donor who made it possible for us to purchase the Earl Owensby Studio. For those who may not be familiar with the location and the story, Mr. Owensby brought Hollywood to the Carolinas. When he started his business, all movies were made in California. He changed all that and became very successful at producing movies.
Founded in 1974, the studio and Mr Owensby thrived and many of his employees continue to thrive in the industry to this day with other companies. A link below will give those who are unfamiliar with him more details.

Proceeds from the auction will go into our building fund to help restore the property. While the buildings may not hold studio sets, and produce movies, those same buildings can be used to make Clifford’s Army Rescue’s dreams come true to help even more animals in need along with providing other animal related services for the community.
Along with items related to E.O. Studios, there will be unrelated but unique items that may interest you. There is a $5 bidding fee when you register. The auction will be at Dragonfly Wine Market, Monday November 11th. Registration will start at 6 pm with the actual auction beginning at 7pm.
We will be posting some of the things that will be up for auction on this event page so be sure to share and invite your friends.
Hope to see you there.
