The 43rd annual Ohio State University Alumni Club of Richland County’s Beat Michigan - Buckeye Bash will be held at the Richland County Fairgrounds, 750 N. Home Road (Youth Hall), Mansfield on Monday, November 18, 2024.
The Buckeye spirit will come alive as the doors open at 5:00 p.m. A meal will be served from 5:15 – 6:30 p.m. Former Ohio State football team captains with Big Ten and/or national championship winner status, Doug Worthington, Curtis Grant and Tyler Everett, will be the featured speakers. The former players will share memories of Beat Michigan Week and their career as players at OSU.
The second feature of the Buckeye Bash will be the return of The Ohio State University marching band. Other highlights are Buckeye music, live and silent OSU item auctions, $10/$15/$20 goodie bags, Buckeye trivia, and a 50:50 drawing.
