MANSFIELD — The 40th annual Ohio State University Alumni Club of Richland County’s Beat Michigan — Buckeye Bash will be held at the Mansfield Liederkranz, 1212 Silver Lane, Mansfield on Monday, Nov. 22, 2021.

The Buckeye spirit will come alive as the doors open at 4:45 p.m. A meal will be served from 5 to 6:15 p.m. Past Ohio State football players, including former national and Big Ten Champions Zach and Jacoby Boren, and Buckeye music will highlight the program, plus live and silent auctions of OSU items, $10 goodie bags, Buckeye trivia and “drop a ticket” activities.

The cost per ticket is $25 (includes the meal). For tickets, contact Judy Villard Overocker at the OSU Extension office, 1495 W. Longview Avenue, Suite 206, Mansfield or by calling 419-747-8755. Seating can be reserved for groups of eight.

The Buckeye Bash is the major source of income for the OSU Alumni Club’s scholarship funds and club outreach. By donating to and/or participating in this fun, community event, Buckeye fans can pay it forward and help support our future “Buckeyes.” Donors of $250 or more will receive a set amount of complimentary admission tickets and a coordinating amount of MEET AND GREET tickets for the former OSU football players.

Buckeye fans will not want to miss this event.

Help from the Media: We would appreciate your assistance in getting the word out about this fun and worthwhile community event. The Buckeye Bash will help spark the spirit to support our Ohio State football team and build the excitement for this upcoming OSU-Michigan game later in the month.

And the biggest plus? It will help support future students who will be attending The Ohio State University in the future.

We would be happy to do a one-on-one interview with a member of your staff so your constituents can learn more about the Buckeye Bash or possibly provide limited tickets for a give away. Just call Judy Villard Overocker at 419-747-8755 for an appointment.

Thank you for your interest and support of this community outreach, scholarship building, and “go Bucks” program. For more information contact Dr. Judy Villard Overocker, Extension Educator, and Buckeye Bash chairperson at 419-747-8755 or by email villard.1@osu.edu.
