More at Today in Montclair : “In Oakland, the best-known White Elephant Sale is about to celebrate its 50th birthday! There’s a preview sale tomorrow, followed by the full event in March. The Oakland Museum Women’s Board (OMWB) organizes this annual extravaganza to raise funds for the museum. They raised only $500 back in 1959, the first year the sale was held. Fast forward, and the OMWB hauled in a whopping $1.28 million last year.”
