SEQUIM — With the debut of the O’Tannenbaum Dinner and Auction coming up Saturday, Olympic Theatre Arts is inviting the public to a preview showing Thursday.

Eleven works of art — decorated holiday trees —will be on display at OTA, 414 N. Sequim Ave., from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., while hot apple cider and cookies are served.
