Giving Thanks brings together the areas favorite restaurants and eateries for Oswego County’s premier food and beverage pairing event. To be held Friday, November 3rd at the Lake Ontario Event and Conference Center OCO’s Giving Thanks, presented by G & C Foods, serves as a fundraiser for the agency’s “Transforming Treasures.
