March 23 was set to be Oberon Day, but recent health events led us to release Oberon early, curtailing large, public events for safety and health reasons.
Plus, who couldn’t use a little extra sunshine?
But that doesn’t mean we still can’t celebrate the release of Oberon, albeit at a distance from each other.
Look, you don’t need anything special to celebrate Oberon Day during these times, not even Oberon. Take a minute and enjoy the good things to come.
Instead of throwing release events at bars or restaurants, join us Monday, March 23 at 6 p.m. on our Facebook page for a virtual Oberon toast. Here's a link to the stream and hit "Get Reminder" to be notified when we're live. A bunch of Bell’s employees will be on chatting and there will be a special, live, video message.
Here’s a checklist of things to help celebrate Oberon Day from the comfort of your own home. You don’t need to make a special trip for any of this. Oberon Day is all about celebrating the return of summer.
