“Even MSU fans are welcome as long as they purchase a raffle ticket,” joked Kate Kester, one of the event’s organizers. “It’s always fun to get together with local OSU fans to cheer on the team and bring that energy of being a Buckeye in Columbus right to Darke County.”
“We are proud to report that nearly 30 students from Darke County will be entering the freshman class at Ohio State this year,” said Bill Barga, OSU Alumni Club Board Member. “We thought it would be ideal to hold the event in Versailles this year because a majority of those students are from Versailles.”

The event begins at 2:30 p.m., one hour before kick-off and ends approximately at 6:30 p.m. Proceeds benefit the OSU Alumni Club scholarship program that helps support tuition costs for Darke County students attending Ohio State.
