Mike Dohme might just be the luckiest person in Darke County -- he had two tickets picked, with him winning first choice which of course, meant Michigan. He later chose the University of Alabama at Birmingham for his second selection, which was 5th overall.

Next year, you could be a lucky winner! Either join our club at $10 for a single or $15 for a joint membership and get a free entry or buy tickets at $5 a piece or 5 for $20. Tickets are typically available beginning in March. 

Here's wishing these winners a great time at 8 Buckeye victories!

Local Buckeye Alumni Donates Time, Talent at 156th Great Darke County Fair

Buckeyes are not much more loyal than Jan Boyer; she is loyal to everything in which she takes part. Believe my surprise when I saw her as the pleasant lady about ready to paint tattoos on both of my sons' arms at the 156th Great Darke County Fair. In the brief time I sat with Jan, I learned some interesting information about her; she was a dual major at Ohio State in home economics teaching and home economics extension work. Not only that, she was a pretty good artist, with some very nice paintings on display. She had been at the fair on Friday the 23rd from 10 AM until 8 at night...a schedule which she meticulously kept daily to keep the young fair goers happy. At a $1 donation to the Darke County Arts, the $1 was a small donation to get to sit with a treasured member of our community and our club. The bonus was that by the time she was done, my boys were smiling.

How Firm Our Friendship -

2012 Send Off Picnic for Darke County Buckeyes

On Tuesday August 7th Darke County's Ohio State Alumni joined together for a picnic to send off the 2012-13 Ohio State Freshmen from our great county. The picnic has been an annual tradition and is enjoyed by both club members and students. The picnic this year was held earlier than in prior years which will be a new trend; as a reminder, Ohio State switched to semesters for this academic year. Enjoy a few photos of this year's Freshman class!

Thank you to Rhonda Williams for the photos who has a Sophomore at Ohio State this year.

Here's hoping for a bright academic future, Buckeyes!
